06 Dec 2025 v4.50.15
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Linux, there are only 3 cursor sizes:
1: steady underline
2: steady block
3: steady bar

Cursor size settings have been updated as follows:

Size 1..3: steady underline
Size 4..8: steady block
Size 9: steady bar

The Clip Menu still pauses, but not as long as before.
I'll work on getting it faster in future versions.

I'm curious about this.  Seems to imply a change to clipboard handling.  1. Is the pause due to some kind of "search the path for a clipboard-related binary" kind of thing?  2, I've never expected "Copy to Windows clipboard" (and friends) to work in the Linux version - does this work now, perhaps with the help of xclip or something?

For Linux, system clipboard handling was added in 4.50.14. It was not there before.

The pause is because the code is trying to determine what entries should be greyed out.

It does this by testing the clipboard.

For Windows there is no noticeable pause, just on Linux.

Maybe this checking could be done only once, e.g. at startup of TSE only.

Double checking all the time whenever the clipmenu is opened or hovered

over should possibly not be that necessary.

FYI: I had to disable some of the clipmenu options, all thus WinClip() related,

because my working version TSE 4.50.14 was again starting to immediately crash completely

back to the command line whenever I hovered close over it or tried to open

it.

This is thus my current clipmenu, showing the disabled options. For now no

crashing with that:

Note: 4.50.15 I plan to skip as a working version, because waiting for 4.50.16 which fixes the maximize screen issue.
