190977 - Can't paste more than 4000 bytes into aterm

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56219

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Bartosz Wucke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030121

When trying to copy a large amount of data into aterm (afterstep terminal)
window, I get a single random character instead of the marked text.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla and Aterm. Open some app in aterm to prevent spamming the shell
(typing 'cat' should suffice)
1. Open a page with a large amount of text in Mozilla. 
2. Select a fairly large chunk of text (over 4000 characters)
3. Press middle mouse button in aterm 

Actual Results:  
Some single random character appears.

Expected Results:  
Whole selected text is being pasted.

I'm not sure whether it's aterm's fault or Mozilla's - anyway, pasting large
amounts of data between xterm and aterm works flawlessly - i.e. if you paste the
data from mozilla into xterm or some other x application first, and then from it
into aterm - it works, only mozilla-aterm pair fails.

I've asked about that on afterstep group and someone confirmed that and
mentioned they saw the same effect with rxvt too.
