copy paste ?

I still can't copy / paste from pgadmin3 to anything else.  I got the
latest rpm  July 1, 2003.  Is there anything else I can test or try to
get this working?

Hi John,

The major part of the problem is that copy/paste is handled by the
window manager not pgAdmin, so it's quite difficult for us to fix.
Jean-Michel has tested on the same platform as you (Kde 3/Redhat 9
iirc), and it works fine for him, so it's presumably something specific
to your configuration.

Anyone on -hackers have any ideas?

Regards, Dave.

Nope,
must go to wxWindows mailing list or so I'm afraid.

My first question would be what exactly is the method he is using for cutting/pasting?  There are esentially two ways to copy/paste, one done largely by X and the other done by the window manager.  The first involves highlighting the text to copy, then using the middle mouse button to paste.  The other involves the Edit->Copy menu item.  Which method is he using?
