First of all, thank you to all devs for this wonderful application. Keep up the good work. This is my first bug report. OVERVIEW ----- When I right-click on a link displayed in Fancy's html viewer and select "Copy Link", I am unable to paste the url in RXVT-Unicode. Pasting with ctl-v in most applications works fine, but when I try to paste in RXVT-Unicode with Shift-Insert, what gets pasted is what was previously in my "clipboard". On the other hand, when I select "Copy this link" after right-clicking on a link that's displayed as plain text, copying to RXVT-Unicode with Shift-Insert works fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE ----- 1. Open an html message with Fancy that contains a hyperlink. 2. Right-click on the link and selece "Copy Link". 3. Try to paste the url into RXVT-Unicode with Shift-Insert. ACTUAL RESULTS: The url is not pasted. Rather, what is pasted is what was in the "clipboard" previously. BUILD: Arch Linux extra/claws-mail-extra-plugins 3.8.0-1 ALSO ----- I noticed this issue in 3.7.10, and it's still there in 3.8.0
AFAICS this is a limitation of RXVT, which is only able to deal with primary selection. I can paste the copied link in other terminals which do support it. See for example this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42563 for possible solutions, like using clipboard tools to exchange selections.
