Comment 80 for bug 282387

Niklas: Here are my findings for the git repository revisions. On some of the revisions I couldn't select text after switching VT and back to X. Selecting by double-click worked but dragging with mouse button down didn't work. In the results below you'll find "Selection" results are about that.

63af314368cec47b6b8266db331f2c820e7a071f CTRL-C kills X, Selections OK, Scroll OK
af096e8c5d8b425f725a37bf4a98e205e70716e9 CTRL-C kills X, Selections OK, Scroll OK
12498042fcc08e34aef0117ce84192f59542fd56 CTRL-C kills X, Selections bad, Scroll OK

As you can see, CTRL-C still kills X even with the HEAD revision (63af314368cec47b6b8266db331f2c820e7a071f). Commit af096e8c5d8b425f725a37bf4a98e205e70716e9 appears to have the fix for the selections breaking after VT switch. Commit 12498042fcc08e34aef0117ce84192f59542fd56 was immediately before af096e8c5d8b425f725a37bf4a98e205e70716e9.

Unfortunately, the commit fixing the problem doesn't cleanly apply to the xserver-xorg-input-evdev-2.0.99+git20080912 source.
