Title:
Emacs hangs upon yank from X clipboard
Status in emacs24 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I routinely copy text from other applications such as Chromium and
Ctrl-Y to paste into Emacs. This worked fine as of Xubuntu 15.04.
After upgrading to 15.10 (emacs24 24.5+1-1ubuntu2), the yank operation
frequently hangs, freezing Emacs for perhaps a minute, not
interruptible with Ctrl-G. Eventually it recovers (but pastes
something other than the current clipboard contents). Once the problem
starts happening, I cannot paste into my Emacs window without a hang,
making it a blocker for routine usage.
I found http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=16737 which
linked to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-
devel/2015-07/msg00106.html from which I found
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=a27ae9d7650a1230d4359eaf0a949f827315a6d2
that seems to be a backport to Emacs 24. Please make sure Ubuntu picks
up this fix.
