Re: test case for clipboard hang?

Harold: you wanted a test case for the clipboard hang. I can do it this
way, using only xterm and notepad:
1) open xterm and notepad
2) type some stuff in the xterm
3) left click and drag to select text in the xterm (it gets highlighted) -
let go of the mouse, and the text stays highlighted in reverse video.
4) single left click somewhere else in the xterm - the reverse video
highlighting of the selection is removed
5) bring the focus to notepad and ^V to paste: it hangs for 3secs and
doesn't paste (previously it would have hung completely).
Note 1: if in between steps 3 and 4 you paste into notepad, it works, and
even if you continue to step 5 it still works, you have to do it in that
order.
Note 2: Even after step 5 you can still paste X->X, ie middle-click in a
different xterm and the paste goes through. (Maybe now it gets it from the
CUT_BUFFER0 instead of from PRIMARY, the xterm manual states that
selecting text puts it in both PRIMARY and in CUT_BUFFER0 -- presumably
step 4 removes PRIMARY but does nothing to CUT_BUFFER0).
I can't reproduce this at all.
The behavior I get is that in step 5 if you press Ctrl+V nothing happens
(no delay, no pasting) and if you right click the context menu entry for
"Paste" is greyed out (since X released ownership of the selection).
So, what version of Windows are you running and are you doing anything
with multiple languages or locales?
