xclip
xclip copied to clipboard
ICCCM Compliance: Only respond to selections for the requested target.
Some programs try to request targets even if we don't advertise them as available in TARGETS. When xclip owns the selection, it is supposed to refuse requests for non-existent targets (using a null property message). Currently, we just send the data we have, willy-nilly, which is definitely the wrong thing to do.
For example, I did xclip -c -t image/jpeg < foo.jpg
, then tried pasting an image into this very bug report window using ^V, I ended up with a long string of Unicode gibberish because Firefox had asked xclip for a series of targets: "TARGETS", "text/plain;charset=utf-8", "UTF8_STRING", "COMPOUND_TEXT", "STRING", and finally "text/x-moz-text-internal".
