Subject: bug#11389: 24.0.96; Emacs not using the MS Windows clipboard
Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 14:59:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DEA5AB0D58A5EB4F98C312A173A3ECAE17234722F2@XCH-MW-11V.mw.nos.boeing.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <83txzzso97.fsf@gnu.org>

Sorry I wasn't detailed enough.

I have Windows XP Professional, SP3, installed on my pc at work. I've tested two scenarios, as follows: 1, 2, and then 1, again.

(1) I start up Emacs with -Q using runemacs.exe from a command line window. I then start up MS Word 2007, SP3. I type in "This is a test." into a blank word document, highlight the text with the mouse, and copy it with a Ctrl-C.  I move the mouse pointer to the Emacs window, click the left mouse button to get focus, and then press the middle mouse button. This time, and ONLY this time, the copied text appears in the Emacs buffer.  All subsequent attempts to copy text in either direction between Emacs and Word fail.

(2) I restart Emacs and Word as in 1, above. This time I type "This is text in Emacs." into the Emacs Scratch buffer and highlight with the mouse.  I then move the mouse pointer to the Word window, click the left mouse button to get focus, and type Ctrl-V.  The text I highlighted in Emacs is NOT pasted into the Word document. Instead, the most recent copied text from a non-Emacs program appears. At this point, any attempt to copy from the Word document to an Emacs buffer fails.

The second run of scenario 1 behaves just as it did the first time.

Please show your evidence: some kind of series of steps, starting with "emacs -Q", which would show that the clipboard "is not used".

I'm using the 24.x pretests, and they all do use the Windows clipboard.
