xdotool Segfault with apostrophes about parcellite HOT 7 OPEN

I can't. Can you give me more details? I copied 'The Chris's dog', and it appears in the clipboard. I can then select and paste anywhere. What system are you on?

I know what the problem is, and I have to ask myself if this is a parcellite issue. I can escape single quotes, and maybe I should, but without them, this will kill xdotool. I've updated the issue to reflect what's really happening.

Thank you!

If you can build the latest commit, I may have fixed the problem. These multiple levels of escaping things is not fun. :) It looks like I killed shell interpretation of variables, but xdotool works. So I solved one bug and created another. Lovely.

Mmm, I can confirm that it doesn't exit, but the single quote char now is quoted when I paste the content:
"A Chris\'s dog"

What do you think about?

It is a work in progress. That is the first attempt to make sure the problem goes away. I'm still crafting a solution.

Hi, I think that is it related to the same problem. When I select a string that start with a dash, parcellite doesn't print nothing. If I run parcellite in foreground mode I have:

Usage: type [--window windowid] [--delay milliseconds] <things to type>
--window <windowid>    - specify a window to send keys to
--delay <milliseconds> - delay between keystrokes
...

I suppose we should run xdotool type -- line, do you agree?
