Try to see what you're actually pasting. What happens if you do: (1) highlight & copy the text using the same method - i.e. same mouse buttons, same source of text (html/pdf/...), same environment (terminal/browser/...), etc - as when it went wrong. (2) vi -i (3) do the paste using the same method - i.e. use same mouse button (I think you said middle-click), etc - as when it had gone wrong. (4) save to a filename /tmp/tstpst or similar. (5) cat -A /tmp/tstpst # or 'od -c /tmp/tstpst', or similar. (6) Post here the output from preceding step; delimit it above & below with '----' . (7) Does the output from step '(5)' look clean? rgds, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
