Can you try building an emacs with the patch on macosx?
Yesterday, at UTC evening, I updated with bzr. The build did not copy. Today, after a 'make clean', I applied your patch and re-compiled. No change, still copying from the NS variant to other Mac OS X applications or X clients does not work. One change happened, when pasting what I marked and copied in X11 or a Mac OS X application:
Quit: "pasteboard doesn't contain valid data"Maybe the copy&paste code could be made smaller since the X servers in Snow Leopard have built-in a synching mechanism with the Mac OS X pasteboard and up-to-date X servers in Leopard have it too. Only the original Apple X server lacks this, but can be configured to work similarly.
Additionally double-click to mark a word is interpreted as<down-mouse-1> <mouse-1>, bound to mouse-drag-region. I don't think thatthis is desirable...N.B. Mouse-drag-region calls mouse-drag-track which calls mouse- start-end to _implement_ double-click to mark a word, perhaps not intuitively given the name. So does double-clicking nonetheless actually mark the word on NS?
Yes, it does. In the beginning I found that this did not copy the word to the pasteboard, so I assumed some key binding might have changed, but they haven't. A working (and installed in /Applications) copy from middle of June describes double-click as the same – and copies the word to Mac OS X pasteboard and X11 PRIMARY selection (or XQuartz 2.5.1 (xorg-server 1.8.99.904) from MacPorts is synching OS X and X11).
