           Summary: xedit bugs handling X11 selections
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: App/other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: sick_soul at yahoo.it


When heavily using xedit copy+paste features, 'random' bugs concerning selection
appear.
Sometimes the selection in xedit is mistakenly replaced automatically with text
selected in another window.

To reproduce try (does not always work, don't know what it depends on) :

- select some text in xedit
- open a terminal and select some text there
- looking back at the xedit window you sometimes find your selection replaced
with the contents selected in the terminal window.

This and other bugs regarding xedit become evident when using the program a lot
(expecially when using select, paste a lot).
