So, no panic. > Looks to me that I missed to find the right words to explain the issue correctly. My bad. New try: I open an xterm and e.g. want to see the content of /etc/fstab. So I issue $ cat /etc/fstab Now I want to copy one line to thunderbird or a web client via firefox. I used to do this by marking the relevant line, change to the other application (say: the web client) and press left and right mouse buttons simultaneously. Until some time ago this procedure inserted the marked-up line at the position of the cursor. No double-click, no Enter. Standard Unix - right? Exactly this procedure is disfunct on my system. No idea why, no idea where to look at. No big thing, just wondering if I missed s.th. or else. I know how to circumvent this non-behaviour in most cases. Just wanted to know if s.o. else witnessed the same and maybe has an answer. Maybe I need to additionally post some specific settings I am not aware of. OK? Best, STEFAN
