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.
