[jed-users] Clipboard problem

[Morten Bo Johansen <mbj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If you have the time, then in e.g. a scratch buffer, insert the following:

   define t()
   {
      insert("\(\)");
   }
  
   local_setkey("(", t);

and do 

   alt-x evalbuffer
   
then typing "(" will insert "()".

Now, try to mark the "()" with the clipboard region selection - I do this by
holding down the shift key and then drag over the region with the left mouse
button. Then insert the selection - I do this by holding down the shift key
and then press the middle mouse button. Instead of inserting "()", it
inserts "())", i.e. an extra right parenthesis is added.

Why does it do this and how can I avoid it?

Jed's own copy/insert region functions have no problems.

Thanks,
Morten
