[Tigervnc-users] Copy/paste is not working across vncviewer(linux sessions) and native windows applications (ex: notepad)

Hi,
Did you get a chance to look into this issue? I have sent my code changes in a separate request, if that helps debugging hte issue.
 
The copy/paste issue is very random. it is owrking sometimes, but the log file shows the content is sent to clipboard.
 
Best Regards,
Venkat

One more observation is that some times the text is getting pasted inside linux terminal window using Ctrl+Ins, but 'paste' menu is disabled.
 
Please note that the copy paste is working fine with TigerVNC 1.0.1
This issue holds us from upgrading to latest TigerVNC. Any quick help is very helpful.

Hi Pierre,

Is this with the official builds on sourceforge? As I wrote in the
other mail, I simply cannot reproduce any issues so I have to assume it
is something in your environment that is playing tricks on you.

Is vncconfig running in the VNC session? Have you tested with a more
down scaled environment on the server to rule out any clipboard
managers? Running just xterm and vncconfig would be a good test.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Hi,
Sorry I missed this mail.
I have done the testing again on clean installs and here are my findings.
I installed the modified vncviewer on my desktop (Windows7) and installed the original server and modified server on two different linux machines.
Copy/Paste is working between the modified client(viewer) and Original server,But 
NOT working between modified client(Viewer) and the modified server.

When you say "original server", is this the builds from Sourceforge? Or
have you made your own builds without your patch? If you haven't tested
making your own build of the clean source, then I'd say that is the next
step. The problem might be your build environment and not your patch.

I am attaching the code diffs for your review. It would be very great, if you can help me in isolating the issue.

Nothing that looks obviously wrong. The only changes that are related

diff B common/rfb/SMsgReader.cxx common/rfb/SMsgReader.cxx
31c31
< static IntParameter maxCutText("MaxCutText", "Maximum permitted length of an incoming clipboard update", 256*1024);
---

static IntParameter maxCutText("MaxCutText", "Maximum permitted length of an incoming clipboard update", 1024*1024);

diff B unix/tx/TXWindow.cxx unix/tx/TXWindow.cxx
417c417
< XGetWindowProperty(dpy, win(), ev->xselection.property, 0, 16384, True,
---

XGetWindowProperty(dpy, win(), ev->xselection.property, 0, 65536, True,

You could try applying everything except those.

When I build the source without any changes, I am seeing lot of warnings. (please see the attached output. Is there any relation to these warnings and teh copy/paste issue?

I'm afraid I don't see any warnings in that build log. What should I
search for?
