Please describe the details, i.e. your Emacs version, > what you did to cut/paste, and what did or did not happen. GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386--freebsd, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) 1. Set mark (Ctrl-Space) 2. Go to the end of the region to copy 3. Press Ctrl-Ins. In Gnome terminal `emacs -nw` Ctrl-Ins generates: 5~ In X Window based `emacs` it does not generate any guarbage, but it does not copy text into global buffer. 4. Go to gedit and press Shift-Ins. Paste did not work. Repeat the same steps on Windows XP machine and it will work just fine.
