I noticed two misbehaviours of pasteSelection (from Xmonad.Util.Paste):
1. In my setup, most notably with a standard German (QWERTZ) keyboard layout, pasteSelection converts slashes ("/") to sevens ("7"), thus messing up URLs and path names. With a QWERTZ keyboard, you get a slash by pressing Shift-7, so this is probably connected.
2. Whitespaces (space, tab, newline) are lost when pasting with pasteSelection.
These are known limitations, although there's no bug for them (but https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=554 is related). It's not clear that it's fixable, because the only way to do this in X11 is to simulate keystrokes. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
