Description Pawel Angerman

2009-01-19 13:01:28 EST

In PHP editor when I copy text by using CTRL+C or CTRL+X and next
paste CTRL+V, sometimes it returns completely different data.
Sometimes a data copied previously, sometimes part of copied data,
sometimes another text.

Currently I use PDT 2.0, but in PDT 1.3 it was the same (maybe
more frequent).

I use Linux Kubuntu 8.04 (default configuration).

I'm getting this too, using Galileo PDT package on Fedora 11.

java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

This is caused by KDE clipboard (klipper) - it works incorrectly with Eclipse.
When you disable klipper you won't have problems.

I have the same problem
copy/paste is a real problem here

I see this in the Java editor as well. There is a workaround described here:

http://techtavern.wordpress.com/2008/08/10/fixing-copy-paste-issues-on-eclipse-and-kde/

And in this posting the sort-of-klipper maintainer mentions that basically Eclipse is being naughty here. Which would explain why only Eclipse seems to have issues with Klipper.
Btw. the workaround makes it better, but I still loose texts when copying data.
