Gnome/Motif

Ctrl+C does not work in the System Summary dialog; the mark/middle mouse
copy/paste does work though.

This is just a regular text widget.

The copy keys on Motif are Shift+Insert etc. not Ctrl+C.

Comment 7 Sebastian Davids

Using Ctrl+Insert to copy works.

@@@@

Maybe I came from a different angle:

The default keybindings for Copy are Ctrl+Insert _and_ Ctrl+C
(Window/Preferences/Keys/Edit/Copy).

That's why I thought that they should work everywhere.

I'm not really up to the current keybindings story ... should they only work in
editors?

They probably could be made to work now that every single blooming keystroke 
is filtered by Eclipse.  Since this PR has been reported so many times, we are 
looking at adding these keys "way down deep" in Motif so that they will be 
picked up by every Motif text widget, including those in built-in dialogs.

Assigning back to UI for now.

Thanks.

>>every Motif text widget
For consistency, they should also work in tables and lists.

But probably you already ment that :D

Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.

Reassigning bugs to reflect changes in ownership.

does anyone know if this is still an issue on Motif?
(retitling bug to be more specific about the problem)

Comment 13 Sebastian Davids

I do not work on a Linux/Motif system anymore; we also do not have a Linux/Motif system at work anymore.

So I unfortunately cannot verify.

Bogdan, when you have a chance would you mind trying this and seeing if it's still an issue?  (This is not urgent, I was just trying to clear the decks of old bugs).

Motif not supported anymore
