Yes, this is well known issue (with pending fix https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/pull/80 ). Also note that if you use pharo launcher you will have to modify the launch method. Peter On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 4:22 PM, Thierry Goubier <thierry.goubier@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Fabio,

for the copy paste to work from Chrome, you need to start your Pharo with the --textenc utf8 command line option.

Dear Pharo Manager,

I am a really newby in Pharo and I was trying to copy-and-paste a code in a Playground, but it didn't work. The original copy was in Google Chrome web page and I used Ubuntu OS. I solved my problem when I pasted to GEdit editor and I copied another time in GEdit. Finally, I pasted in Pharo Playground.

My objective is just report this issue.

Thank you so much!

Best regards, Fabio Petrillo

Just curious why we should not default to that? cheers -ben

I tried by changing in Ununtu's pharo-vm-x script and it indeed works nicely. Now, where is one to change that? I was looking in https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-ubuntu but didn't saw the pharo-vm-x thing in there. Where is it or where is it generated?

Because nobody integrated it yet (there's pending fix as I've linked earlier)
