Bug: File info window 'copy' operation oddities
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:09 pm
Environment:
Syncro SVN Client 7.0, build 2011070716
on
Linux 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu 10.04 SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
using
Vmware workstation 8.0
on
Windows XP Pro SP3 host
Method 1:
Open the console tab, selecting some text, right click and select 'copy'.
Method 2:
Open a 'svn information' window for a working copy item, right click on any value (eg: path), and click 'copy'.
Both methods correctly allow me to paste the information in any app on Linux (eg: terminal).
Method 1 overrides my Windows XP clipboard as expected (vmware tools copy/paste integration).
Method 2 does not override my Windows XP clipboard at all... my workaround is to paste the information into a terminal in linux, then select/copy the text again.
Any idea why Method 1 works but Method 2 does not? Are the functions for copying the 'svn info' window contents different somehow? All other copy/paste operations to/from Windows XP work just fine (with other applications as well), so it seems NOT releated to Vmware.
Thanks
