I have this bug too (on Maverick) My 2 cents: - gedit clears the primary *only* if the selection was made on gedit itself! (yes, this seems absurd, i know)
Steps to reproduce: - Select something in Firefox (double or triple click this very line). Alt+Tab to gedit. Middle-click. Pastes fine - Left click another part of the text in gedit. Middle-click. Pastes fine - Select something in gedit (double or triple click) Alt+Tab to firefox. Middle-click. Pastes fine - Alt+Tab back to gedit. Middle-click anywhere (without left-clicking!). Pastes fine - Left click another part of the text in gedit. Middle-click. PASTE FAILS - Alt+tab to firefox. Middle-click. PASTE FAILS - Select something in Firefox (double or triple click this very line). Alt+Tab to gedit. - Use keyboard arrow keys to move cursor somewhere else. Middle-click. Pastes fine - Select something in gedit. Use keyboard arrow keys to move cursor somewhere else. Middle-click. PASTE FAILS (fails also if you use CTRL+Z or any key that moves the text cursor to another place) So it looks like the primary is cleared if text cursor in gedit moves (by left-click or arrow keys or any other way) and the selection was made in gedit itself. Is this behavior the same bug or another, new one? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34629 Title: Left-click clears PRIMARY buffer selection (Copy-paste with middle- button/mouse wheel fails) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/34629/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
