Primary selection and clipboard cancel each other out

[rob]

Using the primary selection clears the clipboard, apparently. Steps to duplicate:

• select a region with the mouse
• copy it
• select another region (which activates the primary selection)
• attempt to paste (the paste has been cleared by the primary selection)

It doesn't seem to matter if UsePrimarySelection? is called before the call to clipboard.open; it still clears the other clipboard:

    wx.TheClipboard.UsePrimarySelection(primary_selection)
    if wx.TheClipboard.Open():
        wx.TheClipboard.SetData(do)
        wx.TheClipboard.Close()

This is a problem in the wxWidgets C++ code but it is apparently fixed in the subversion repository (see the sourceforge bug report). No word when it will be integrated into wxPython, but I presume that it will be in the next major release.

Nothing I can do about it in peppy -- have to wait for the upstream fix.

(In [1414]) Refs #328: forces the fake middle mouse paste instead of using the X11 Primary Selection on version of before 2.8.8

Moving to 0.7.5 in hopes that this can be resolved with future versions of wxpython
