I don't know whether this is actually a duplicate, I think that having
the middle button click paste previously highlighted text should be
fixed for trackpads so that it only pastes when you click both mouse
buttons, and not when you bump into the scroll bar. This would fix
'copy-paste' in ubuntu so that power users could still copy-paste
without having to ctrl c, ctrl v but also keep people from accidentally
pasting text while typing. I run into this accidental pasting every
day. It seems like it's a feature which is pretty deeply rooted in
linux, so I don't know whether it's possible to tweak it in this
instance so it recognizes a distinction between middle mouse click
(press both left and right buttons) and middle mouse click (touch scroll
on trackpad). I am sure that other ubuntu users who use the track pad
primarily also run into this issue. Thanks for your help.
