Hi Lex,

I was trying to mouse over and paste from a
local copy to a terminal.

And the Secondary Clipboard is working to and from Geany
from and to Thunderbird.

Hmmmmmmmm! !!!!

And now it is working to and from a terminal as well.

Me things something was amiss in either that instance
of Geany or Terminal.  And restarting both fixed
the issues.

So, never mind ...   mumble, mumble

-T

p.s. When I am ssh-X11ing into a remote Geany, I will
make a local backup copy of my file by opening Geany
locally, doing a <ctrl><a> and <ctrl><c>  on the remote
Geany, then doing a <ctrl><V> on my local Geany.  Works
beautifully.  (Secondary clipboard).
