Commit patch [#18597] Blender's text editor cant paste from SciTE in linux Submitted by Campbell. I made some changes to cleanup a little the code, atoms are now in the System class. The getClipboard_xcout try to convert/request: 1) Request for UTF8, if fail 2) Request for COMPOUND_TEXT, if fail 3) Request for TEXT, if fail 4) Request for STRING Test here with SciTE Version 1.77, firefox, xterm and text editor working with both library's gtk/qt and all work fine.
