[opensuse] Parcellite clears selected text in LXDE?
Hi. When I select some text in various programs in LXDE (Leafpad, LXTerminal, Beaver, text entries in some programs like Geany, etc.) the selection is cleared (unselected) as soon as I release the mouse button (or keys if using the keyboard). I've reported this upstream [1], but the developer can't reproduce this behaviour. Is anybody facing this issue? I need to know if it is an openSUSE problem to file a bug report. Parcellite is from X11:lxde repository (version 1.1.8 revision 532), not the one in the standard repositories. It happens the same in openSUSE Factory too with the same version of the program.

Is this on a laptop with both mouse & touchpad enabled? It should not matter, but I have seen strangeness with what seems to be the touchpad and mouse fighting for control of the mouse pointer. I installed to LXDE w/parcellite and, as mentioned, saw some problems in that area. Go ahead an file a bug report. It is most likely an opensuse issue. It it turns out to be an upstream problem, the opensuse devs can help sort out what 'upstream' is for the issue. (i.e. kernel, gnome, parcellite,, etc...) I have long since switched from LXDE to KDE3 and am using 'klipper' instead of 'parcellite' without issue. If this is a laptop you are on, you will want to look into 'gsynaptics' to help harmonize the mouse/touchpad interaction. If for some reason you are not using the gnome utilities as the underpinnings for LXDE (default - usually started via /etc/xdg/autostart script), you can also use 'syndaemon' if for some reason gsynaptics isn't working for you. Both are just different interfaces to the synaptics touchpad driver that basically suspend various aspects of touchpad input during keyboard input, etc. to prevent stray input from the touchpad clearing selections or moving the cursor. -- David C.

In pclos kde, there is synaptiks (without the "g" and with "k") which will turn off the scratch pad when a mouse or trackball is plugged in. I used it on my Dell laptop and it works great. I presume you can get it on any kde system, sinc the prief description mentions kde. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
