In Gnome at least you can high-light with mouse, right click, hit |
| 8 |
copy, and go to another window, right click, and hit paste.... |

Is visual mode even suppose to work for this purpose? I don't think |
| 11 |
hitting v and moving left and right is suppose to dump the selected |
| 12 |
sections into the copy-paste buffer. |

So basically the problem is OO then. Can you copy and paste from other |
| 23 |
applications to OO? |

Perhaps it is a problem with encodings? Years ago I had trouble |
| 26 |
occasionally when I try to copy and past stuff from Firefox to Vim in |
| 27 |
a rxvt terminal. Then I found out the hiccup is due to 'proper' |
| 28 |
apostrophes, commas, and en- and em-dashes. Unicode characters does |
| 29 |
not want to be pasted into a non-unicode terminal. |

try emerging (if you don't have it installed already) the little |
| 32 |
program 'xsel'. You can use it to manipulate the selection buffers. |
| 33 |
Try trouble shooting with it to see what the problem is. |
