It seems also that openoffice copies stuff into X11's clipboard buffer
before you release the mouse, which is both unnecessary, and breaks
external applications such as wmcliphist.

wmcliphist has a workaround, where it doesn't take up the clipboard
ownership immediately, but this means that you lose some functionality
of wmcliphist that is nice to have.


How to recreate problem: Run wmcliphist, run openoffice. Select some
text reasonably slowly in OO, and then try to paste it into an
xterm. Only the first part of the selection will be pasted - but as
soon as you quit wmcliphist, you can paste full selections again.

This *appears* to be a wmcliphist bug, but upon closer inspection, why
is OO copying things to the the X11 clipboard buffer before
mouse-release? It does no good - it can't be pasted by the user until
the release the mouse anyway. So I am reporting this bug to OO as well
(it is also a bug in GTK2 apps).

Dear openoffice.org user,

Thanks for your interest in OO.org and the bug report you have contributed.

Your bug report [0] was done for a version which is now quite old (pre
version 2.0.0).

During the last 6 weeks I sent 3 requests to update this bug report, and verify
that this bug still exists with a more up to date version of OO.org.

Since the bug is quite old, and I didn't get any response regarding this bug, 
I'm closing it. I'm using the current unstable version for proving version info.

If you'll find this bug to still exist in a future version of OO.org, please 
reopen the bug and specify the affected version.. Let me know if you need help 
with this process.
