Copy&Paste issue on Eclipse

[mansonthomas]

Hi,

I'm working with eclipse (3.4) and to actually copy something into the clipboard, I need to hit CTRL+C twice.

If I hit only once, and the I paste, I paste the former value, not the new one.

For CTRL+X, the selectionned text disappear, but when I paste, it still paste the former value of the clipboard, to actually cut and paste, I need to CTRL+C, CTRL+X, CTRL+V....

borring ;)


Anyone has this issue ? solved it ?

Thx,
Thomas

In Klipper settings, genera tab, check "Sync clipboard content and selection"
This work for me.
I use Kubuntu 9.10 & Eclipse 3.5 SR1, but must be work on any KDE installation, the issue is related to Klipper.
