Hi,

When doing a copy to the clipboard from the IDE source editor, lazarus adds the terminating NULL. This is wrong and sometimes causes errors.

Select text in IDE. Copy to search/address bar of browser. hit enter.

Results in following query being executed:

https://www.google.be/search?q=TObject%00&oq=TObject%00&ie=UTF-8

Notice the %00...

If you position the cursor at the end and press backspace in the search bar/address bar, you'll see that the readable text is not actually becoming shorter, because you are then deleting the terminating null...

Michael.

Yes, build Lazarus with GTK_REMOVE_CLIPBOARD_NULL. There are 2 alternative bugs. Choose the one that bothers you less. :( I will be happy if somebody finds a way to fix it properly. I don't understand the relevant code enough.
