Sorry that my first post is about a bug report, but I have verified this behavior in the latest SVN. I checked out the code today, compiled and tested it just to be sure. Previously, I was using 1.6.3. I am on Kubuntu Linux however this is reproduceable on windows as well.

The bug has to do with the copy/paste buffer using keyboard or mouse. To reproduce the problem try these steps.

Navigate to a function name in PGAdmin. in the right SQL window, select all the text and hit control C.

Open the query editor. Hit Control-V

Now, chances are that worked (it is hit or miss, but the first time just now i tried it, worked fine).

Now in the query editor select all the text again, and control-c.

Move your cursor to the top of the window. Select the first few lines. Control-c.

Now, with your cursor at the very top, hit control-v. you will notice (at least for me, consistently) it doesn't paste what you last copied, instead, it pasted what i had copied earlier.

I know this sounds round about, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't a random event. I use PGadmin every day all day and this is an extremely annoying bug.

If I knew where to look, I'd try to post a patch, but my C/C++ is not worth beans these days.

It works perfectly for me on Windows. I'm sure you'd have noticed, but I
assume your C key is working reliably? Do you have another PC you can
test on to see if it's specific to your usual machine?

I can imagine.

Sorry, missed the mention of the mouse. It wasn't clear that your
Windows tests were on a different machine though.

I've spent some time testing this again on Windows XP Pro, Mac OS X
Tiger and Fedora 7 and have completely failed to see any problems. Can
any of the other developers?

You mention that you've tested the latest SVN code - what version of
wxWidgets did you build against? Are you also running a home-built
version on the Windows box (and if so, what wxWidgets version is there)?
