[texworks] texworks Digest, Vol 28, Issue 8

Thu Nov 4 22:57:08 CET 2010

I use the TW version which I get when updating Ubuntu 10.04 the normal 
way via Synaptic Package Manager. This currently is r.466. My keyboard 
is German, but I use the English/US locale. All other programs, such as 
OpenOffice, work fine. It is just the TW editor which behaves oddly when 
using the control+C and control+V mechanisms to transport pieces of code 
from one file to another. I did not yet try the menu way 
Edit/Cut/Copy/Paste.
Regards, Peter Hertel
