Bug#277832: copy-paste of non-ISO-8859-1 characters between uxterm's is broken
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: normal
I open two uxterm's. In the first one, I type from zsh:
echo \\u20ac
to get a Euro symbol. I double-click on this Euro symbol and paste it
(with the middle button) to the second uxterm. No problem: I get the
Euro symbol.
Now, I click in the first uxterm; the Euro symbol no longer appears
as selected (this is normal). I click with the middle button in the
second uxterm. But instead of getting the Euro symbol, I get a hash
(#).
I don't have this problem with ISO-8859-1 characters (éèê).
