Hi Group,

I have problems with my clipboard, that I never experienced with other Linux distributions: If I do 'mark text; Ctrl-c; mark different text; Ctrl-v' e.g. in Eclipse the second selection is not overwritten by the content of the first selection.

It seems that the clipboard content is overwritten as soon as I mark text. This behaviour is not depending on the window manager/ desktop environment (I tried fvwm and kde), so it is probably some X configuration stuff. As far as I have understood, there are 2 different clipboards with one being changed as soon as you mark text (pasting at mouse-middle-click) and the other is changed by pressing Ctrl-c (pasting at Ctrl-v). Is that correct?

If so, then it seems that for me mouse-selection and Ctrl-c write into the same buffer. Can anyone give me a hint, where to look for the possibility to change this behaviour?

Cheers, Heinz
