It seems every time I try to copy anything to or from the clipboard
in DECwindows, the client program crashes.
I've had this happen in DECterm (the terminal controller crashes
blowing away all my terminal windows) and in DECW$MAIL (the mail
process crashes).
It is extremely repeatable.
I'm running on an SDC VMS V5.1 with a SET DISPLAY to an SDC Ultrix UWS
V2.0 microvax II/GPX. I use the UWM window manager on the Ultrix side
and start thing up as usual (using the session manager resource to
select the window manager).
Any idea what's causing this or how I can get around it? What part of
the system implements the clipboard. Is it window manager, X Server,
Xlib or what?

I believe this is an Ultrix server bug and that a fix is in the works for their next release which I believe goes to the SDC in May sometime. Contact Al Carito for more info. Bill | |||||

The group which is doing interoperability testing between DEC platforms just found this problem. The fact that this testing had not been done before is one of the reasons we never claimed to support interoperability, (now I14Y...sigh) even with Ultrix. Hopefully, we will be able to claim such support soon. Burns | |||||
