I've been having this problem since I started using one particular Linux VM. I've been using VcXsrv for years, and this never occured with many machines. virtual or physical headless boxes, in different scenarios. This might not be even be a VcXsrv problem, but maybe some of you have seen this and have a solution? My workhorse is Emacs with CUA mode (just like any modern editor, Shift-arrows select text etc.) Once in a while, when I want to select a few lines, I hold Shift, then hold the down arrow,...
