Thread: Hello, first post with a problem

Sorry that my first post is about a bug report, but I have verified this behavior in the latest SVN.  I checked out the
codetoday, compiled and tested it just to be sure.  Previously, I was using 1.6.3.  I am on Kubuntu Linux however this
isreproduceable on windows as well.<br /><br />The bug has to do with the copy/paste buffer using keyboard or mouse. 
Toreproduce the problem try these steps.<br /><br />Navigate to a function name in PGAdmin.  in the right SQL window,
selectall the text and hit control C.<br /><br />Open the query editor.  Hit Control-V<br /><br />Now, chances are that
worked(it is hit or miss, but the first time just now i tried it, worked fine).<br /><br />Now in the query editor
selectall the text again, and control-c.<br /><br />Move your cursor to the top of the window.  Select the first few

consistently)it doesn't paste what you last copied, instead, it pasted what i had copied earlier.<br /><br />I know
thissounds round about, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't a random event.  I use PGadmin every day all day and this is
anextremely annoying bug.  <br /><br />If I knew where to look, I'd try to post a patch, but my C/C++ is not worth
beansthese days.<br /><br />Mark<br /><br /><p><hr size="1" />Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside

It works perfectly for me on Windows. I'm sure you'd have noticed, but I
assume your C key is working reliably? Do you have another PC you can
test on to see if it's specific to your usual machine?

I can imagine.

Sorry, missed the mention of the mouse. It wasn't clear that your
Windows tests were on a different machine though.

I've spent some time testing this again on Windows XP Pro, Mac OS X
Tiger and Fedora 7 and have completely failed to see any problems. Can
any of the other developers?

You mention that you've tested the latest SVN code - what version of
wxWidgets did you build against? Are you also running a home-built
version on the Windows box (and if so, what wxWidgets version is there)?

Oh, I see it. You emailed it directly to me rather than using the
mailing list. That basically sends it automatically to the back of the
queue :-(

Thanks for the confirmation Vince, at least I know I'm not loony.<br /><br />The windows version is the binary
downloadedfrom pgadmin site.  wxWidgets on my linux box is 2.8<br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 29, 2007 5:39
