Hi! Did once some testing and steppings through that strange copy-paste-behaviour. This is what I found out:
Step 1.1 Windows: VNC-Viewer start Step 1.2 VNC-Viewer: open terminal aixterm Step 1.3 aixterm: mark a line of characters (implied xopy within X) (just single click and mark the rest of the line) Step 1.4 notepad: paste (copy line from Step 1.3 correctly) Step 1.5 aixterm: repeating Step 1.3 on a different line Step 1.6 notepad: paste not correct: the line from Step 1.3 gets inserted, not the new, different one Step 1.7 aixterm: mark new line, starting the marking process with a double click. Step 1.8 notepad: paste line from Step 1.7 gets correctly inserted. Conclusion 1: the first mark with single click works. Subsequent marks (copy within vncviewer)need to be "started" with double click. BUT: Doing again Step 1.1 through 1.4, then: Step 2.1 notepad: Mark some lines within notepad, and copy Step 2.2 aixterm: paste into file, open with vi: correct insert (or even no paste action at all works the same) Step 2.3 aixterm: mark line with single click Step 2.4 notepad: paste line: correct insert into notepad Conclusion 2: when a copy/paste event from vnc-viewer to Windows apps is not beeing repeated, but the "direction" being reversed, meaning copy/paste from Windows app to vncviewer, a new, normal single click for marking and copying within vncviewer and a paste within Windows apps works again. Yet, a subsequent copy/paste directly from vncviewer to a Windows apps would result as described in Step 1.6, exept it is done as in Step 1.7. Single click marks only works, when each copy paste from vncviewer to windows apps gets "interrupted" by a copy/paste event from Windows apps to vncviewer. Was I clear? :-) But, we all like VNC. It's a great tool Happy 'puting, Lukas -----Urspr|ngliche Nachricht----- Von: vnc-list-ad...@realvnc.com [mailto:vnc-list-ad...@realvnc.com] Im Auftrag von Hao Yu Gesendet: Mittwoch, 15.

These days I'm also trying to modify the RealVNC code, but I even can't successfully build vnc4 on Ubuntu 8.10 :-( Thanks, Hao Yu 2009/4/15 paresh masani <masanipar...@gmail.com> > >>I'm not aware of any buffer limit. > Thanks Chris for reply but I could see from source code that there is a > buffer limit: > > From unix/common/rfb/SMsgReader.cxx : static IntParameter > maxCutText("MaxCutText", "Maximum permitted length of an incoming clipboard > update", 256*1024); > > From unix/unix/tx/TXWindow.cxx : XGetWindowProperty(dpy, win(), > ev->xselection.property, 0, 16384, True, AnyPropertyType, &type, &format, > &nitems, &after, &data); > > I don't know why this limit is?
