I didn't know about the "Copy on select" option (and I already wanted to
start whining about that feature missing), so when I read the message of
rhubble I run to enable that feature and it worked flawlessly.
I run WinXP Pro with latest patches too.
The only "strange" behavior I can see is when I have mintty, X (xterm
for example) and CLCL (a clipboard history tool for Windows).
In that case the interaction of these three applications (mintty, xterm
and CLCL) produces from time to time malfunction of the copy on select
feature (both in mintty and xterm). So you could check if you have some
clipboard history/handler utility running.
Ciao,

That's a new one actually. Can you reproduce it? If it's not too much
bother, any details about the bug and your system would be
appreciated. The ~/.minttyrc file might be helpful too.
It's winxp with latest patches and I think I have latest cygwin.
Although I'm not certain of that.
I suspect most users will have 'copy on select' enabled and there've
been no problems reported so far, so particular circumstances on your
setup must be exposing a latent bug. Hence the .minttyrc and the
stackdump would be useful.
Also, a few more questions, if you're willing to help tracking it
down. Does it lock up as soon as you start mintty or the first time
you try to copy something? Have you got any clipboard utilities
running? Does it work if you delete or rename ~/.minttyrc to go back
to the default settings and copy something through the context menu?
