Hi.
I've the following scenerio:
Win7 PC, with Cygwin/X, sshing (with -Y) to a remote Linux (RHEL5) machine.
When running Eclipse from the remote Linux, trying to copy-paste to local Windows' Word - the code is pasted without RTF, just plain text.

However, when using VNC to the remote Linux, pasting to the remote's OOWRITER it was pasted nicely as RTF.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Cygwin/X on Windows
2. ssh -Y <linux-machine>
3. run eclipse (the window will open up in Windows environment)
4. copy some code
5. paste it in Microsoft Word

Does copy/paste operate correctly otherwise?

Yes, it does. It just copies the plain text, without formatting. (like simple "copy" function of other editors, opposed to "copy as RTF").

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
