copy & paste does not sync between X and Chrome windows #24

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
looks like Chrome and X maintain independent copy buffers that need to be synced

1. start a new native Chrome browser window
2. start any random X window (like konsole[qt] or pidgin[gtk])
3. copy some text in that app (ctrl+c) and then paste it in the app (ctrl+v) to 
make sure it works
4. switch to the Chrome window
5. see that the paste buffer has different content
6. switch back to any X app and see that the old content is still there

the reverse happens as well -- copy & paste text in Chrome and then try to 
paste it into an X app and see it fail
