Hello.

I'm not sure which package should I choose for this particular problem
cause I'm not aware of internal mechanismes in X.org.

Please forward/reassign this bugreport to the correct place if this is
wrong one.

The problem is when I try to mark some text (in Firefox for example) and it
contains some characters like apostrophe wrote using entities like ’.

X clipboard seems to have problems with such characters and it's not
possible to paste marked text to the other application like xterm.

I suppose it's problem with UTF handling, but it's not possible to paste
even broken text without that >8 bit characters. Middle mouse button
doesn't paste anything. Maybe it should simply strip >8 bits characters and
paste only these that are correct for 8bit encoding.

regards
fEnIo
