Clipboard on GTK

[Fred]

Hi,

On GTK, when the scintilla component is destroyed the copied clipboard text is discarded, which isn't the excpected behaviour. To solve this, just add:

gtk_clipboard_store(clipBoard);

after

gtk_clipboard_set_can_store(clipBoard, clipboardCopyTargets, nClipboardCopyTargets);

in ScintillaGTK.cxx

On current Mint, SciTE's clipboard survives exit OK so I don't think gtk_clipboard_store should be needed.

Well, it fails on Ubuntu, may be you want to give it a try :)

Neil, do you have a clipboard manager running? If so, this clipboard
manager saves the content. Without any clipboard manager, the clipboard
content is actually lost.

Enrico

Not that I'm aware of since I use mostly stock distributions with some compilers and libraries added. Plus CompizConfig or similar app so that settings can be tweaked.

Just checked again and on Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 12.04 inside VirtualBox, downloading and building ('make' in both gtk directories) current SciTE 3.2.1, then running that. Then
Check version in Help | About SciTE -> shows 3.2.1.
Open Global Options : Options | Open Global Options File
Select a word such as 'Global'
Context menu | Copy
File | Exit to close SciTE
Open gedit
Edit | Paste

Hi Neil,

I just recompiled/ran scite and you are right, it does work correctly. I probably don't shutdown GTK correctly in my code as the gtk_clipboard_set_can_store()  doc states it should push the clipboard content in the store location when exiting:

'Hints that the clipboard data should be stored somewhere when the application exits or when gtk_clipboard_store() is called. "

Sorry for the hassle,
