Re: Latest Cygwin X hangs when mouse is used to highlight text

I've been using Cygwin X trouble-free for years, and am running the latest
distribution of X and the Cygwin1.dll for at least two weeks (since the
Cygwin 1.7.7.1 release). It's been fine until this morning when it started
locking on me whenever I used the mouse to highlight text. I have NO IDEA
what changed on my system to now cause this behavior. **ANY** help you can
give to assist me would be most appreciated since I use it for all my
development efforts.

This is very likely to be some sort of problem with the clipboard integration code.


You might find that using the '-noclipboard' option works around the problem (at the cost of not being able to cut/paste between Windows and X apps).

An xserver log with '-logverbose 3' might shed a bit more light on what's going on.
