Description Sebastian Heyn 2014-03-03 06:31:56 UTC

When trying to send clipboard to a tigervnc server using TigerVNC viewer, no data seems to be sent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect vncviewer to a vnc server
2. copy some text on the client
3. try to paste it on the server
Actual Results:  
Not working

Expected Results:  
text should be sent to server's clipboard

I tried tigervnc 1.3.0 and 1.3.0-r1 however problem persists. 
If I use a machine with another vncviewer (realvnc for example) copy and paste works, so the problem should be located inside gentoo's tigervnc viewer

Yeah, I noticed that too. There's a thread in tigervnc's mailing list about that. I think its due to fltk. See bug 497594
