Description _ tboudreau 1999-11-30 20:33:49 UTC 
Since I`m a Unix (X) User I`m used to  paste the  selection with the middle mouse button to the editor (or to whatever) - but this does not work.  I have to use the keyboard, icons or menu items.  B
y the way, pasting from another application doesn`t work either.

There are two types of clipboard in the UNIX. X11 and Motif (at least I think).
Java VM uses Motif clipboard => you can exchange text only with some
applictions (netscape).

Anyway this is VM issue, I can see no way to fix it in NetBeans.
