Hello, Firstly, big shout out to all the incredible volunteers on this project. My life is infinitely more technically manageable on Microsoft Windows thanks to Cygwin. I get that Linux feeling everyday.
My issue: Copying text between X11 apps and Microsoft Windows has limited clipboard buffer. My office co-worker and I were able to replicate the same issue on our machines. To replicate: 1) Run Cygwin X Server locally. 2) Run gedit remotely (using company Linux hosts) and redirect display to our local Cygwin X Server. 3) Copy some text in gedit, paste in Windows app, e.g. Notepad. We are able to find a limit (approximately 1000+ lines of text). To be very clear: We can copy small amounts to text, but not large amounts of text. My co-worker found this historical Cygwin mailing list item. It looks very similar: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/emacs-x11-new-clipboard-size-limitation-td104696.html When the copy/paste fails, I see the following in /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log: [298268.591] winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionNotify - X*TextPropertyToTextList returned: XConverterNotFound Finally, I regularly update my Cygwin; AFAIK: my release is quite recent. $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW W01BBSAV 2.3.0(0.291/5/3) 2015-11-09 10:22 i686 Cygwin Please let me know what I can do to provide further information & details, e.g., STC -- Simple Test Case as normally requested by Corinna.
