Package: xterm
Version: 333-1
Severity: normal

I was working on my .Xresources and found this quite crazy.
I could not select PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD independent of each
other. To reproduce, I chose to have *only* the lines from
the manual page…

           *VT100*translations:    #override \n\
              ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
               Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
              ~Shift     <BtnUp> : select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
               Shift     <BtnUp> : select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1)

… loaded with “xrdb -merge filename”, with no .Xresources
at all, then I started two xterms, in one I selected, in
another, I ran xsel commands to discern what is the content
of PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD, respectively.

tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<> C<>
tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<foo> C<>
tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<bar> C<bar>
tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<foo> C<foo>

After the first command I selected “foo” without Shift.
⇒ as expected, PRIMARY gets assigned “foo”, CLIPBOARD is left alone
After the second command I selected “bar” with Shift.
⇒ unexpectedly, PRIMARY *also* gets “bar” in addition to CLIPBOARD
After the third line, I selected “foo” without Shift again.
⇒ unexpectedly, CLIPBOARD *also* gets “foo” in addition to PRIMARY


For comparison, here’s the same sequence of things on MirBSD,
with xterm 200 on XFree86:

tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<> C<>
tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<foo> C<>
tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<bar> C<bar>
tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>"
P<foo> C<>

For that, I used this in .Xresources though:

*VT100*translations: #override \n\
	 Shift~Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
	 Shift Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
	~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
	 Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
	~Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
	 Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1)

(Actually, do I need a trailing \n or \n\ after the last line?)

Here, selecting “foo” without Shift again *clears* CLIPBOARD
instead of assigning to it. Still buggy.


I was considering not using cut buffers in xterm 333 on X.org:

*VT100*translations: #override \n\
	 Shift~Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(PRIMARY) \n\
	 Shift Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
	~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(PRIMARY) \n\
	 Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
	~Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(PRIMARY) \n\
	 Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\

Anyway, from the above tests I concur that this never worked
as documented and still does not work as documented.
