[ALUG] Broken clipboard

[Mark Rogers]

Dunno how but I've broken my clipboard!

Any time I try to paste I get:
ŸŸif (empty($job_rec->data['start'])) $job['start'] = date('Y-m-d');

The PHP code is something I did copy to the clipboard (don't know about 
the two leading chars though), but nothing I've copied since has "taken".

Using glipper I can see the clipboard history, and if I copy something 
that's being added to the history just fine. It's only paste that 
doesn't work.

I have had the problem once before and a reboot fixed it, but now that 
I'm not using Windows I don't see why I should have to reboot every few 
days! The two leading chars were the same last time, I think (upper case 
Y with umlaut).

Only clue I can think of: I use Synergy (synergys.sf.net) to allow me to 
use one keyboard/mouse between two PCs, and amongst the things it does 
it copies the clipboard between machines. This machine is the Synergy 
server. (The other (client) machine is Win2k.) I've killed Synergy since 
the problem started and the clipboard is still broken, though.
