I'd like to reopen this bug. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and Debian testing
on different boxes and can reproduce the problem on both.
PROBLEM:
In GTK applications text selected by shift+arrows is copied into mouse
selection.
To REPRODUCE:
1) Open GTK application, f.e. firefox and open some page with editable
text area. Actually, I am doing this right now while filling 'Add
comment' text area in bugs.launchpad.net.
2) Select some text with mouse. It will be copied into clipboard upon
mouse button release, you can verify it by trying to paste it with
middle-click. This is good and expected behaviour.
3) Now select some other text with shift+arrows.
ACTUAL RESULT
4) Text selected with shift+arrows will be copied into mouse clipboard.
You can verify it by trying to paste it with middle-click. And this is
not good.
EXPECTED RESULT is that mouse clipboard is changed only by mouse
selection, and is not changed by step 3).
ADDITIONAL INFO:
This problem indeed does not affect Qt application. You can also see
this problem when trying to rename file in nautilus by clicking F2.
Nautilus will highlight file name and it will be copied into mouse
selection buffer.
