Hi all,
yanking text from clipboard into Emacs doesn't work for me. Yanking
control@debbugs.gnu.org into Emacs looks like this:
[-- Attachment #2: yank.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 7623 bytes --]
[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 272 bytes --]
Steps to reproduce:
1) Start Emacs with emacs -Q (from a MinGW64 shell)
2) Open Windows Editor
3) Enter control@debbugs.gnu.org in Editor
4) Mark and Copy in Editor
5) Yank in scratch with C-y
This is Emacs 990aad47 from master.
Can others reproduce this?
Best, Arash

Does reverting 5e66c75e0 fix the issue?

I've reverted it now and will have to reexamine the problem before
attempting a new fix.

Thanks, I also just tried it and 5e66c75e0 is the problematic change.
I'm closing this report for now.

Whatever you do, don't decode the selection text on MS-Windows. It is
already decoded (see w32-get-clipboard-data), and
selection-coding-system is UTF-16 on MS-Windows, so decoding a decoded
string by that will not do anything useful ;-)
The existing code carefully side-steps the decoding by looking at the
foreign-selection property on the string, which the Windows code
doesn't set. But your changes removed that test, and thus caused the
clipboard text to be decoded on Windows.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. I plan on getting my Windows
VMs up and running again (I'm in the middle of switching some computers
here) so that I can do some testing on Windows too, and then I'll
attempt the fix again. 😀
