Package: xclip
Version: 0.08-4
Severity: normal
xclip can't make available more than 4096 bytes in an X selection.
See this testcase:
$ (for i in `seq 1 4096`; do echo -n a; done) | xclip
$ xclip -o
aaaaa.....aaa (4096 'a' letters printed as expected)
Also pasting the 4096 characters into gedit works perfectly.
$ (for i in `seq 1 4097`; do echo -n a; done) | xclip
$ xclip -o
This produces no output and hangs. Trying to paste the 4097 characters
into gedit with the middle mouse button has no effect (gedit doesn't hang,
it just doesn't paste anything).
