I also once believed it to be a VNC bug. But when I found that it also happens without VNC, and it only happens with Emacs, I know it's Emacs's problem.

I've been frustrated by this problem for years. (I'm sure Emacs 19.34 never had this problem. Maybe neither did Emacs 20.* -- I'm not sure. Emacs 21.* always have this problem.) If I have found the patterns, I would have come up with workarounds and also reported the bug. Since I haven't been able to confidently reproduce the misbehaviour, I refrain from filing a bug report.

I've also discovered this workaround. Strangely, Emacs to Emacs cut&paste seems to work all the time, even with multilingual text, as long as the text is not too long. (I wish the multilingual cut&paste also work between Mozilla and Emacs.) -- Lee Sau Dan +Z05biGVm-(Big5) ~{@nJX6X~}(HZ) E-mail: danlee@informatik.uni-freiburg.de Home page: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~danlee
