Whenever I select any text the text is immediately copied to the clipboard without me explicitly issuing copy text command. How do I fix this bug or feature?
I am using RealVNC client. The server is running IceWM.

~/.vnc/xstartupSendPrimary=0 (e.g. vncconfig SendPrimary=0 –nowin &)How it works:
vncconfig is a program that manages shared functionality between the x11 server and your VNC session, most notably shared clipboard functionality. Without this running in the background, you cannot share a clipboard.1 (on) which instructs vncconfig to send the primary (selection) buffer to the clipboard buffer, in effect overwriting anything there

This options seems to have disappeared in latest version. Is there a workaround? – Jeremy Pare – 2018-03-24T23:09:39.643
And you're also using the RealVNC server (just called "VNC Server") right? I am seeing the same issue, it's very annoying. I am using the official free RealVNC client and server. Also, since this is a very old question -- did you ever figure out a fix? – Ricket – 2013-09-25T14:42:15.957
@Ricket No I was not using RealVNC server. When I use that then mostly it works, not always. RealVNC Server+Client, sometimes the copy and paste stops working absolutely. Then I go back to old non-RealVNC Server and it works. – AppleGrew – 2013-09-25T17:32:21.483
I am also having the same issue, very annoying and slows down my work! Just in case if you find a fix, please post it here! – rgamber – 2013-10-23T01:17:49.207
