It means there are times when cut and past simply refuse to function from/to
Konqueror Browser to/from Open Office in which you can close Open Office,
reopen Open Office and cut and past will work.
This issue was well discussed on this BB 2+ years ago at which time people
said I was craze and guess what it still doesn't work with 9.1 and 9.2. It
may have started working in the 2.6 kernel as I understood the issue it was a
kernel issue but I do not know if that is true or not as I can not install
10.1 to find out.
Note there always some who assumes that if something works in one distribution
is does in another. That is simply not true. Or they assume that because they
possess a superior technical Linux knowledge to 99.9% of the rest of the
world and they can make it work then thus by definition there is no problem.
That again is simply not true.
The issue is that we are discussing very poor quality of a commercial produce.
Not the capabilities or the quality of Linux in general or of teaches.
Face it the quality is simply NOT there if something that did work is now
broken in the latest distribution.
