The standard way to report an Emacs bug is to run M-x report-emacs-bug and describe the problem. However, you might also want to look at http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/ to see if this is already reported.
This is a general guideline. If you are uncomfortable with these steps, perhaps somebody else could step up as a contact towards the Emacs maintainers on your and Ubuntu's behalf. I can volunteer to take the first steps, but cannot commit to being able to follow up on a longer term. In any event, I feel that this needs to be hashed out in some more detail before we take that step. Confusingly, Emacs on X has two different places where you copy and paste stuff. M-w uses Emacs' internal kill ring (kill-ring-save), whereas the Edit menu's copy command uses the X clipboard (clipboard- kill-ring-save). This is well known, and probably pointless to report as a bug. I also think it is known that clipboard-kill-ring-save is slower than kill-ring-save. See also (the somewhat technical) http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html, http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CopyAndPaste (grab bag of related things, in no particular order; that's a wiki for you), http://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2006/10/22/emacs-copypaste-and-x/ for a recent rehash, and of course the GNU Emacs manual. However; it could be argued that for GTK interoperability reasons, the GTK version of Emacs in particular should behave differently than traditional GNU Emacs on X11. I can imagine that this would be a hard thing to agree on, but also that this might be worth bringing up one way or another. I'm not sure a bug report to the Emacs maintainers is the correct way to approach that, though. -- Emacs will not paste into other programs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
