But instead of getting the Euro symbol, I get a hash > (#). I noticed this earlier this week, and don't recall seeing it before except when the xterm owning the selection had lost focus (no need to beat that dead horse). The particular case I noticed involved a single instance of uxterm - in one scenario the paste works properly, but in the other I get a '#' on the second try at pasting. I was testing some locale improvements for vile, with the screen split into two parts. One shows the printable characters, and the other is a buffer into which I was inserting. Using select/paste from the character list shows the bug (I got one instance of the expected character and then a '#'). Selecting from the edit-buffer shows no problem. I don't know the cause, but have it on my to-do list to investigate. But it does appear to be something that I can fix. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
