Abiword Copy and Paste
« on: January 13, 2010, 08:57:15 AM »
The Paste function no longer works in Abiword, possibly since the last gtk2 update.

Tested in TC 2.5 and 2.7.

Could someone else please confirm this?

Copying and pasting in Abiword seems to work here, either when copying/pasting to the same page or to another window or app.

Are we talking X selection or app selection copy-pasting here? They use different methods and a different clipboard.

X selection = mouse highlight
app selection = ctrl-c or edit->copy
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Neither worked.
