Subject: [gentoo-user] Pasting jacked up for mnths now... like a bugger
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:56:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87iq5xw3bt.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
Does anyone else notice a serious mess when copy/pasting to firefox.
Some other places too.
I'll mouse scrape something from and go to paste it into google, and
get some older paste plus the new one intermixed as a result.
Its been going on for a good while and finally reached the point where
I'm really sick of it.
I use something of an exotic mouse I guess (Logitech G9), could that
be the problem? I actually doubt it.
I'll give an example, I mouse scrapted the `I actually doublt it'
above and when to paste it to an empty firefox navigation box.
This was the result:
-US%3I actually doubt itAunofficial&q=pdf2html+opensource&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=http://twibright.com/pdf2html
As you see, its there but prefaced and postfaced with other junk.
Any ideas what I can do about it? I don't really want to go tracking
down different mice etc... I'm hoping its something to do with xorg or
something.
