I wonder if you are running into an obscure quirk of X11. X11 actually |
| 24 |
has 3 buffers that are clipboard-link in nature: PRIMARY, SECONDARY, |
| 25 |
and CLIPBOARD. |

|

In general, any text you select becomes the PRIMARY selection |
| 30 |
automatically. Anything you explicitly copy via the context menu |
| 31 |
"Copy" option becomes the CLIPBOARD selection. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Are you trying to use the X11 PRIMARY selection, or the CLIPBOARD |
| 34 |
selection? xfreerdp looks at the CLIPBOARD selection. |
