Often when "cutting" from Xwin and attempting to "Paste" to a WindowsXP application,
the "most recent" "cut" is not pasted... but instead a "previous" Xwin "cut".
In other words, this scenario:
LOCATION ACT Comment
Xwin Cut "abc"
WinXP Paste correctly pastes "abc"
Xwin Cut "def"
WinXP Paste Incorrectly pastes "abc"
When the above problem occurs, no matter how many times a "cut" from Xwin,
Whenever I paste on WinXP it pastes "abc".
I can "correct" the problem by "cutting" from WinXP and pasting into Xwin...
...after doing this the next Xwin "cut" will "correctly" paste on WinXP.
Below is the start of my Xwin.0.log.
Thanks for any advise.
