Bug 612

Summary: SDL_SYSWMEVENT not working when using synergy clipboard twice
Product: SDL Reporter: armin.weatherwax
Component: eventsAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED INVALID QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: critical    
Priority: P2    
Version: 1.2.12   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   

Description armin.weatherwax 2008-08-12 23:46:39 UTC 
1. Get two computers, A and B. A should be running linux. 
2. Install Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net) to share A's keyboard and mouse with B.
3. run scrap http://www.libsdl.org/projects/scrap/ on A
4. Use synergy to copy some text on B, and paste it into SCRAP  on A. 
5. Repeat step 4

Alternatively you can reproduce this with a Linux Second Live client (SL).

Result: Scrap (or SL) crashes because of waiting forever for SDL_SYSWMEVENT.

Bug report: SDL_SYSWMEVENT doesn't registrate an event on the second paste with synergy.
Comment 1 armin.weatherwax 2008-09-15 10:42:27 UTC 
i found out its not a sdl bug, but a incompatibility of scrap to synergy. synergy waits for the property to be deleted before giving the next selectionnotify event.
