I'm not shure about is it an Gentoo build or upstream issue, so post this bug here. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gnumeric; 2. In one or several cells type some text; 3. Cut it into memory buffer (text disappears from selected area, but not formatting (i.e. cells borders), that is a normal behaviour of gnumeric); 4. Try to paste copied data. Actual Results: Discover, that the memory buffer is empty (AFAIR even if before cutting in gnumeric it wasn't). Expected Results: Pasteing the cutted data. What additional info could be useful for fixing this bug (may be a trace?)? $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.9.25 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r3, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_4_CPU_3.00GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.14 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 07 Feb 2011 05:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.6.6-r1, 3.1.2-r4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.14-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.4-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 (sys-kernel/linux-headers) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/env.d/50glib2 /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs buildsyspkg collision-protect distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.corbina.net/pub/Linux/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.aiya.ru/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.org.kemsu.ru/gentoo/ http://ftp.chg.ru/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.chg.ru/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/" LANG="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_ALL="" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="ru en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage-ftn" SYNC=" rsync://rsync.ru.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 ac3 acl alsa avi berkdb bzip2 cdr cli cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus djvu dri dvd flac fortran gdbm gif gtk iconv jpeg jpeg2k modules mp3 mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg openmp pam pcre pdf perl png pppd python qt3support readline session ssl sysfs tcpd tiff unicode utf8 vorbis x86 xcb xorg xulrunner zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="ru en" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="sis" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
See bug #353166. What desktop environment do you run gnumeric under?
(In reply to comment #1) > See bug #353166. What desktop environment do you run gnumeric under? > Thank you :) It's very, very good question. I'm using xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.8. It seems to be rather old and well known (for me) GNOME apps dependency structure issue (when installed in GNOME environment application works fine, but if the same application is installed without complete GNOME installation some parts of it are inoperable)? I remember the similiar issue, when password storing in net-nds/gq runned under GNOME worked fine, in my case (at that time I've used AfterStep WM) was inoperable. Should I to open a bug about GNOME apps dependency stucture and mark this bug as it's dependency?
