Bug 95726 – Cannot copy from nor paste to joe's open file

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 93051
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Humphrey 2005-06-10 15:46:13 UTC]

Since joe-3.2 I've been unable to use the mouse in joe. I want to be able to use
cut-&-paste, either to write into joe's open file, or to copy data out of it to
an xterm or whatever. What went wrong? I'm using xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1.

Reproducible: Always

Not sure of the effect of utf-8; I'd better check the effect of changing to
ISO-8859-15 and report back.

It made no difference: apparently joe doesn't take any notice of the mouse.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 93051 ***

[Comment 3 Peter Humphrey 2005-06-10 22:20:41 UTC]

I wonder why 93051 didn't show up when I searched for bugs in joe.

[Comment 4 Tom Knight (RETIRED) 2005-06-11 02:13:33 UTC]

Try holding down the shift key when pasting to/from joe.

[Comment 5 Peter Humphrey 2005-06-12 06:36:12 UTC]

That did it - thanks, Tom.
