Description Santiago Romero 2003-05-12 13:55:20 UTC

Version:           1.5.1 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:     (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030309 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20

I use aterm as terminal console under X, and I've noticed after switching from sylpheed to kmail that I can't copy/paste text from aterm to a Kmail compose window. I select text with the left mouse button in the aterm, and nor middle-clicking nor ctrl+v work to paste the selected text. Under xterm or konsole it works. I've never found any problem when copying from aterm to ALL linux applications, so I imagine the problem in this case is in Kmail.

 Thanks a lot.

This bug also applies to Eterm. I can't paste from Eterm to KMail or KEdit  but
I can paste to Konqueror. My workaround is to paste from Eterm to XEdit, from
XEdit to KMail/KEdit.
