GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0) of 2010-08-28

Hi,

hunting a bug which seems to occur around `kill-new',

see the following bug-sourcing lines in

x-win.el, line 1256

                ;; ICCCM says cut buffer always contain ISO-Latin-1
                 (encode-coding-string text 'iso-latin-1))

IMHO that recipe can't be valid yet.

Thanks


Andreas

It is. Remeber that cut buffers are deprecated and has been for a long time. 
Selections have replaced them.  If you look at the code in question, 
selections come after cut-buffer handling and there no translation takes 
place.  I don't think anybody would notice if Emacs removed all cut-buffer code.

Closing as there is no error.

Why don't we try?

Hi Jan,

let me remark though, while tracking the execution of the copy- and 
yank-back functions, have seen that form mentioned in use several times.

As I'm no expert in that matter, didn't object you closed the bug.

However, as far as I've seen it, it's far from out-of-use.
