I often highlight a large amount of text in my emacs window sometimes megabytes worth. Even though it gets copied to the clipboard with no problems klipper chokes and freezes up kde while it's trying to copy the buffer. Usually I kill klipper until I'm doing with emacs cut&paste. Instead it would be nice to set in the preference window the maximum size klipper will copy from the clipboard buffer. Thanks!

Limiting of the size still needs to be done, but that will require application support (http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/clipboard-extensions-spec/clipboard-extensions.txt). 310204 2 kde 2005-02-04 21:19:39 +0000 There is no way to fix this wish --- the clipboard data will be copied before the size can be determine, unless I'm missing something. If someone wants to avoid having large clipboard items in the clipboard for other reasons, please open a new bug. 311164 3 l.lunak 2005-02-07 10:56:46 +0000 As said in my comment, this is possible at least for applications that provide support for it. There's a proposal for such a spec at freedesktop.org, but I can't find it currently because of the site reorganization after the hack. 311177 4 kde 2005-02-07 11:24:33 +0000 Well, google provides. I'll look into it, but I think that the originals poster request for support for this in XEmacs is unrealistic :) Here's the link, I think: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fclipboards_2dextension_2dspec 410307 5 l.lunak 2006-01-31 16:14:24 +0000 Ok, it seems everybody pretty much ignores that proposal from me. However I managed to sneak a similar mechanism to http://freedesktop.org/wiki/ClipboardManager (TARGET_SIZES). A quick grep on Gtk shows everybody ignores that part too :-/. Oh well. Well, so does Qt after all. 1197961 6 thijs22nospam 2011-12-11 16:06:50 +0000 *** Bug 288030 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1202715 7 adaptee 2011-12-20 20:35:30 +0000 *** Bug 237308 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1204541 8 adaptee 2011-12-24 13:57:20 +0000 *** Bug 238031 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2046556 9 groot 2021-07-12 10:55:43 +0000 (If there's a not-KDE2-era version of this, it would be relevant.
