Hi all,
(no, that's not a typo in the subject line)
64-bit install, bash inside mintty, all latest packages with the
cygwin1.dll snapshot shown below...
# <<< --- begin STC --->>>
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 ryan-laptop-v02 1.7.23s(0.268/5/3) 20130729 19:11:42
x86_64 Cygwin
$ echo "Reading" > /dev/clipboard
# hit [shift]+[insert] to paste
# (hopefully 8 characters is not "too long" to paste into a TTY)
# then hit ^D to finish
$ cat > tmp.txt
$ cat tmp.txt
Rg
eRaedaidnign
g
$ cat /dev/clipboard
Reading
# <<< --- end STC --->>>
Thoughts?
Ryan
