Hi, whenever I try to paste large amounts of text (>10000 bytes), e.g. from an editor (irrelevant which one I use) to a browser (also doesn't matter which browser I use), I get big problems. It doesn't matter if I use PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD, the pasted text just doesn't arrive. In Mozilla I just get a long delay and nothing happens, in Konqueror even stranger things happen, such as random characters appearing in the paste area. I also get the "random characters" effect in Opera after some testing. The only thing that tends to work well is pasting within the same application. Some applications even lose their clipboard contents when closed. Are these apps all broken, or are there more fundamental bugs/design flaws in the X clipboard mechanism? Is there anything I can do to make this work as it should? (Note: I tested this behavior on different machines with different Linux distributions and different X server versions.)
