             Bug #: 31216
           Summary: Cut and paste: gnome terminal overrides Wine
                    clipboard?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.15
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com
    Classification: Unclassified


A Windows user running Centos 5 in VMWare, 
with Tanner S-Edit inside the Centos instance in Wine (1.3.15?)
and Microsoft Office running natively in Windows,
noticed the following problem:

Copying from S-Edit (on Linux) and pasting into Office (on Windows)
worked fine.
However, if you run Gnome Terminal, select some text in it, and do Copy,
then copy from S-Edit, and then paste into Office, the text that
is pasted is the text that was copied earlier from Gnome Terminal.
If you then close Gnome Terminal and paste into Office, the S-Edit
text you copied earlier is pasted.

So it seems Gnome Terminal is offering some data type that Wine isn't, and
VMWare's clipboard integration prefers that data type.

The little windows clipboard viewer at
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/clipboard/externallinks/article.php/c9155/Clipboard-Viewer.htm
might be helpful in diagnosing this, I'll ask the user to try that.

I haven't found a similar simple clipboard viewer which shows details
of what's being offered on the various clipboard-like mechanisms
(as opposed to a clipboard manager, which tries to hide details) for Linux yet.
