#4776 closed bug

VNC server and use of remote clipboard paste size bug limit to 63.9 Kilobytes of text. — at Initial Version

Description

Have verified with tests driving Pe and Styled Edit that getting data/text larger than 63.9 K i size from the clipboard to a application as well as from and onto the clipboard is the size limit regardless of various larger than 63.9 K copy and paste attempts. The VNC server should be able to get whatever sized data is on the system clipboard, and also provide that same data to a remote VNC client.

  1. Install and run the server of VNC for haiku, only the server.
  2. Install and run a VNC client on your host.
  3. Make a connection to the Haiku VM VNC server.
  4. On local host open 1.5 meg file and copy all the text.
  5. In connection window to the VM VNC server, open the Pe or StyledEdit apps.
  6. In either app opened in #5, paste.
  7. Witness the size limit, about 63.9K of text is pasted.

Please fix this bug, it hampers remote boundary testing that I'm doing.
