Subject: How to prevent double X pastes?
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:06:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87prnzvnat.fsf@rattlesnake.com> (raw)

This is very likely an X issue, not a GNU Emacs issue.  I would like a
work around.

How do I prevent a region being pasted twice when I copy the primary
region with my mouse from GNU Emacs to an xterm or an RXVT shell in X?

Doubling also happens when I copy a command from one xterm to another.
That suggests the problem is an X issue.

However, doubling does not happen when I go from an xterm to GNU Emacs.
Also, doubling does not happen between two RXVT shells.

I am using the Debian Testing distribution of GNU/Linux, updated this
morning.
