I think this is already answered within the FAQ, but just in case it isn't, I seem not to be able to copy & paste into form input boxes.
When I do try to "middle mouse button" copy/paste, my output goes into the url entry field of the browser instead of where I intended to paste a form input box.
This seems to work ok for me - at least when I tried with google. But I remember that we have some focus related problems recently.
Here it works. I don't even need to focus the place to paste, the cursor over the widget is enough (FLTK2 v7513).

I also use Gentoo (same versions, fltk2 built without cairo), but I'm not experiencing your problem. Does it not paste properly even if you're typing in the form's input box -- ie. if you're sure it has focus? (ie. I assume besides pasting into the address bar, your keystrokes will also go there?)
...even if I'm typing. (See my previous postings on this thread.) I am sure, that I'm am sure, of course I'm sure. Once I left click in the url bar of dillo, I have no problems typing within the url box. (I don't think Dillo/FLTK accepts ctrl-v for pasting.)
When you state "focus problems", I would assume you're talking about when fltk/dillo borks on my focus problem and screws up what I'm typing into the focus box -- until I press ctrl+tab (or switch virtual desktops, then switch back again to the dillo virtual desktop).
This sounds ... pertinent :b.
It sounds relevant, but only a symptom of the problem. This may all get down to the issue of "focus". The url box of dillo always has focus with the mouse. The mouse can click and use Dillo normally. I can use the keyboard to enter form data. But when it gets to copy/paste, the mouse always puts it's copy buffer into the url box. It is completely amazing you use Gentoo as well, and don't see any of these problems. Just prior to wiping and doing a clean install of Gentoo (to reduce bloat -- and the fact I haven't done a clean install in 5+ years), I was seeing the same problems with the mouse copy/paste buffer in Dillo, along with it on my other laptops and computers. After reinstalling on all three systems, I am still seeing this same problem. Would be great to hear the code responsible for this clicking issue so I can try to dump some debug output. FLTK is responsible correct? For what it's worth, here's something from GDB (compiling fltk & dillo with debug flags): (Action -> mouse button paste in google form box) Nav_open_url: new url='Thisisfreesoftware:youarefreetochangeandredistributeit.' Dpi_get_server_port: can't read server port from dpid. ** ERROR **: dpi.c: can't start dpi daemon ... wow... looky all the debug info just flow out GDB! :-/
