Now you mentioned it, I see something similar. I typically paste from one xterm window to another. Typically one xterm is the local box and another xterm is some ssh session. What I see on amd64 laptop is that pasting with a built-in mouse stops working after a while. I typically have a usb mouse as well. Pasting with a usb mouse never fails. I can copy with a built-in mouse and paste with a usb mouse. Because in the end I get done what I need, I never really bothered to think why. Next time this happens, I'll try to record the exact details, if you are interested. -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
