Now that P.J. Hinton has explained that deleting the Klipper permits proper cut and paste of cells in notebooks I can work much better with Mathematica under Linux and KDE. There remains, however, another very annoying problem. By normal editing of just a simple expression or programming a function the editor slips in characters like \.08, \.a8, etc (in hexadecimal encoding) that show up either as barely visible spaces, or not at all in the output. They may, however, affect the computation. Sometimes, by erasing a piece of text and retyping the problems can be corrected, but often it takes several trials to get rid of them. It is certainly very annoying and wastes a lot of time. Do other people have these problems? Is a solution known? -- H.P.
