#171 middle button ignored
Basically, I drag-select a range of text in the XVNC window X-terminal
and then use the "middle button" to try and copy the selected text to the
current X-windows cursor location.
So, the set of action is:
move mouse pointer to start of text region
mouse-down and drag to end of text
mouse up
middle-click
On my linux box, those actions would replicate the selected text at the
current xterm input cursor location. With CotVNC interposed, nothing
happens -- I'd guess that was because the mouse center button isn't
being sent to VNC.
In the Connection Config, I've set the center and right buttons to no-
emulation -- since I have a multibutton mouse. But I'd guess that there
are no universal settings for the keycodes from mice; Do I need to set the
Kensington driver to xmit certain codes when the receiving application is
CotVNC?
I've also tried all variations on mouse clicks while holding down one of
SHIFT, CTRL, OPTION and CMD -- none of these have the desired end
result...
I'm running MacOSX 10.4.3,
CotVNC 2.0b3
connecting to RH Linux, XVnc 3.3.7

Middle-clicking behaves correctly here with CotVNC 2.0b3.
Could you check with xev what you get? The only difference
with left-click should be that the mouse button is button 2
instead of button 1.

I am having the same problem:
If I run "VNC Config" utility in background (vncconfig) in the linux box I can
copy text from linux and paste it into Mac OS X, but I can NOT copy text from
Mac OS X and paste it into the linux machine thru the cotvnc viewer window.
I tried the same thing running the VNC viewer from Win XP connected to the
very same VNC Server in linux. Cut and Paste WORKS FINE in both ways with
no sweat. I use mouse's middle button to paste text into Linux.
I am running:
VNC Server: Red Hat Linux 7.3 and VNC Server 4.1.1 (I installed the last
version to see if that solved the problem without success).
Client side: CotVNC 2.0b4 (I tried 2.0b3 before) under Mac OS X 10.4.4

This is a different problem. How do you copy text? From
which application? How do you paste text? To which application?
Here clipboard contents pass from Mac OS X (client) to Linux
(server), but not primary selection. This is not surprising
because Mac OS X does not have a concept of primary
selection (and probably neither the VNC protocol). Now,
depending on the application, there may be some mirroring
between the clipboard system and the primary selection
system (BTW, I like this very much!).
Note: when you use the middle button under Linux, this
pastes the primary selection[*] (but this can also be
configurable), therefore explaining that this may not work
with VNC.
