[texworks] Select/Paste not working

[Kaspar Kööp]

 yes, the expected behavour:

1) i select (highlight some text) in texworks window
2) move mouse to another location
3) press middle mouse button and the text that was highlighted is pasted to
the mouse location

basically it is copying the highlighted text and pasting it with middle
mouse button

this is working from any program to texworks, but NOT working from texworks
to any other program, or even inside texworks itself... which is the most
annoying!

this is a very common copy/paste way in unix/linux systems. if you have a
live-cd available, try it out... any linux text editor or terminal can do it
under X

and i have tried it under qt4 (kubuntu 9.10 alpha)

best,
Kaspar
