Sometimes when I select a piece of text in another program (xterm or tkman
or mozilla are examples, but it seems it can happen with any program) I am
unable to paste the selection into emacs. Instead, doing the "yank"
command in emacs always pastes emacs' last "kill". When I do
"Alt-: (x-get-selection-internal 'PRIMARY 'STRING)" the result is also
emacs' last kill, even though I just selected something in xterm a second
before that.
Can you provide a test case for reproducing this? Alternatively, can
you debug what happens inside Fx_get_selection_internal in the C code?
What Xlib calls does it do, and what answers do they get?
