Ah, I finally figured it out. The = problem was with the preferences in XQuartz on the Mac. = Duh.

This = seems to work:

Input:

Emulate = 3-button mouse

Enable key = equivalents

others = unchecked

Pasteboard:

Enable syncing

= Update Clipboard

Update = Primary

Update Pasteboard

other unchecked

-- = Don

That's indeed = weird. Maybe another application is interfering with your = clipboard?

I don't think so. = I don't have much else going on there. I'll try it with = something completely benign in the clipboard... nope, no change.

Well, the clipboard's contents = must be of the appropriate MIME type, so if you cut something from = another application, then Edit / Paste *shouldn't* be selectable.

I can come up with the following = explanations:

- Edit / Copy doesn't set the = clipboard's MIME type correctly,
- some clipboard = management mechanism messes up the clipboard's MIME type, or
- gschem doesn't recognize the MIME type of the clipboard = contents correctly.

You could try = commenting out the line

= gschem_action_set_sensitive (action_clipboard_paste, usable, = w_current);

in gschem/src/x_clipboard.c to = skip the MIME check. This will only work if the check as such is = the problem, though.
