Copying in a cmdtool/shelltool doesn't seem to set the selection properly and pasting therefore seems to get a corrupted attribute list (a traceback on the dead cmdtool reveals that it dies in attr_count in attr.c, but I haven't yet built libxview with debugging symbols). Textedit does appear to operate correctly. One thing that intrigues me is where you that said textedit operates correctly under xview3.2 got it from? It's not included in the xview3.2 distribution in the X contrib directories. I presume it's the xview3.0 one. Other problems I am having with cmdtool/shelltool concern accessing the tty. I am getting: Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device). Thus no job control in this shell. I also get ttysw_sigwinch, can't get tty process group: Inappropriate ioctl for device at regular intervals. I suspect these problems are related to netbsd since I also get this problem (infrequently) after exiting X windows and logging in on the console without windows. I saw one article recently mentioning this and I'd like to follow it up. Any light anyone can shed on anything I've said, please email...
