 |
|
My system has started experiencing problems with xorg|gnome and pasting from the clipboard. When pasting (via ctrl-v, Edit->Paste menu or the middle mouse button), the application will crash with no output in the xsession-errors file.
Not all applications are having this problem, for example evolution works fine, but gnome-terminal, firefox, epiphany, text editor and dictionary are amongst the applications that do have this problem.
I'm not sure when this behaviour started. I'm using gentoo AMD64. |

Thanks for your suggestion ectospasm.
Due to a power cut, my system was restarted and lo and behold, the problem has gone!
I still don't have a clue as to why it exibited that problem though. |

As much as a lot of us would hate to admit it, sometimes following the advice of our Windows brethren works. You may have been able to get away with shutting down the X server and restarting (whether killing it by CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or simply logging out). Since the problem was transient, we'll consider it solved. If it happens again, try my original suggestion, so we can get a clue as to what's going on.

i've got the same problem, but it affects different applications such gedit, bug-buddy, bluefish; but not the terminal, scite or any web browser...
restarting the x server doesn't change this behaviour and starting the app from the terminal doesn't say anything when the crash happen...
i've got gnome 2.14.1 installed and i'm getting mad with this  ...help...
addendum:
i've noticed that even inserting or selecting (not appending or pasting) a text in the apps crash them... |

downgrading gtk+ from 2.8.18 to 2.8.12 solved the problem...  |
