No, I'm simply selecting text with the mouse in an Arc buffer and trying to paste with the middle-button in a non-emacs window such as this text area.
I've narrowed the problem down to the filename extension. Here's the test:
brian@airstream:~/temp$ cat > temp.arc
hello, world
<ctrl>-d
emacs temp.arc
Then select some text with the mouse and try and paste in a non-emacs window using the middle button. I can do this with everything but files ending in .arc !
brian@airstream:~/temp$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2
I just killed my .emacs file as a test and I get the same results, so you should be able to duplicate that if you're on Linux.
With no .emacs file, I see the following message when loading temp.arc:
File mode specification error: (error "Buffer format not recognized")
I expect that's related. Maybe we can get pg to use another extension like .arclisp :)
So it's not sufficient to add the new arc.el, you have to remove the existing association also? I would think that once a match is found in the auto-mode-alist, it wouldn't consider the other entries.
BTW I started a thread on gnu.emacs.help, but if the above fixes it, it's moot.
