Fl_Text_Buffer text_buf;
  Fl_Text_Editor* text_ed = new Fl_Text_Editor(5, 5, 800, 600);   
  text_ed->buffer(&text_buf);
  text_buf.append(text.c_str());

Fl_Text_Buffer has a problem, when you want to copy/cut/paste text
with the control key, you can only use the left control key;
the right control key will delete the selected text.

For a long time i thought this was a bug, but when i looked into
the code, it seems to be a "feature" to input composite characters
(like press right control, then c => copyright symbol, for example).

The "problem" is in Fl::composite(del) (in src/Fl_compose.cxx).

Maybe there can be added an option to enable/disable the right
control key for composite characters (during runtime or compile time).

Bumped to 1.2. We are only fixing true bugs. This is a (disputable) feature.

This should be fixed in 1.3 now after we changed much of the text input code. Can the OP or someone test this? My Mac has no right Ctrl key ;-)

Fixed in Subversion repository.

The problem does not exist any more since the removal of the character composition function from all input widgets. Tested and confirmed on Windows and Linux.
