   Web www.spinics.net  X Clipboard Xtremely Broken   whenever I
try to paste large amounts of text (>10000 bytes), e.g. from an
editor (irrelevant which one I use) to a browser (also doesn't
matter which browser I use), I get big problems. It doesn't
matter if I use PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD, the pasted text just
doesn't arrive. In Mozilla I just get a long delay and nothing
happens, in Konqueror even stranger things happen, such as
random characters appearing in the paste area. I also get the
"random characters" effect in Opera after some testing. The only
thing that tends to work well is pasting within the same
application. Some applications even lose their clipboard
contents when  Are these apps all broken, or are there more
fundamental bugs/design flaws in the X clipboard mechanism? Is
there anything I can do to make this work as it should? (Note: I
tested this behavior on different machines with different Linux
distributions and different X server   FOKUS - Fraunhofer
