Bug#1050607: xcb: bookworm xcb won't paste from selected cut buffer
Package: xcb
Version: 2.4-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
With standard bookworm Gnome desktop...
[farlap.949] $ whence xcb
'xcb -n 33 -l v -geometry -0+0'
[farlap.950] $ which xcb
/bin/xcb
[farlap.951] $ strings /bin/xcb | grep "^lib"
libXaw.so.7
libXt.so.6
libX11.so.6
libc.so.6
1. Cut something and paste into first cut buffer.
2. Cut something different and paste into second cut buffer.
3. Single click on FIRST cut buffer box. Paste anywhere.
4. What gets pasted is the contents of the SECOND cut buffer.
This bug renders xcb pretty much useless.
I found the source for an old version of xcb in my archives. It's
xcb-2.4 with PATCHLEVEL: 3. I compiled it from source, and tested.
I got the same problem.
