Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-21
Followup-For: Bug #219974
hi,
machine is a g3 upgraded power tower pro (mac clone), running 2.6.13
(home brew), with framebuffer enabled, on an old ati mach64 card.
for some strange reason, ever since the last (?; could be the one
previous) revision of gpm it doesn't copy things very well, and thus i
can't paste what i've selected. it fails without fail.
what i do is what i've always done: select with left mouse button, and
paste with middle, and i always get some random crap instead of what i
selected.
this happens when i have a console open, trying to paste into a vim
window or other thing.
it doesn't do this when i'm doing it from/to a screen window. this works
fine.
