Pasteboard sharing endian problem

[euyriwaru]

Clipboard is improperly copied from an Intel Mac to PowerPC mac (curiously it works fine the other way!)

The copied text is a string full of asian characters - looks like UTF-16 with wrong endianness.


(BTW: captcha on this forum is most hideous one I've seen!)

What application do you paste your text into? Please try with TextEdit to see if it works.
And for the captcha yeah it's ugly but pretty efficient

It happens when I copy text between Opera browsers.

On Mac Mini I've copied:
"this is a test"

and on G5 iMac I got:
琀栀椀猀 椀猀 愀 琀攀猀琀

but TextEdit and Finder work OK indeed. Opera worked fine with Teleport when I had both machines on PowerPC.

(that was 'test this' written in TexEdit on my iBook and then pasted into this comment form - Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Intel Mac Mini)

If I paste it into TextEdit and then cut and paste within the same machine, it works fine. I'm still using 3.7 though & I just live with this 'cos I don't want to lose the multiple screen functionality.

Interesting to see that my 'test' = 琀攀猀琀 as does euriwaru's 'test' so it's not a randomised garbage thing.

Yep, this is a problem I'm investigating.
