Re: [orca-list] Copy flat review and append flatreview to clipboard does not take multibyte characters into account

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

I have looked more at this and I have found out two things.

1) It's present ever since orca has an ability to copy text to clipboard 
meaning it has nothing to do with the recent refactor of text selection 
and related things.
2) I've hacked a print statement into my running instance of orca where 
it's copying text to clipboard and before call to clipboard.set_text() 
the string appears correct. So it's either some kind of flag to Gtk 
clipboard we are missing or it might be a GTK issue.

Also I was not able to copy text to clipboard by running python 
interactively in the terminal this way  so perhaps there is even more to it.

I'm running GTK 3.18.

Greetings

Peter
