To all, New FreeBSD convert here. I have a password safe (Password Tracker http://www.sdi-consulting.com/opensource/patra.html) that I've been using for years on other platforms (including linux, if I remember correctly) but have hit a snag: copying to the clipboard via getSystemClipboard() doesn't copy to the clipboard. Highlighting in a java problem illicits the same response as any other application (3rd button pastes) but since the point of a password safe is not to see the password when copying it, the point is a bit defeated. Here are the symptoms in list form: - Copy from patra to other java program works as expected - Copy from patra to non-java program (gnome-terminal) does not work (clipboard becomes empty if it was full before) - Copy from other java program to gnome-terminal does not work. - Copy from gnome-terminal to java program works. I've also used firefox as a native app to check, and used eclipse, netbeans, and intellij to verify that this was not just a problem with Password Tracker itself. Also, I have been unable to find the bug database for the java project; could someone point me in the right direction? Cheers, Greyson
