Bonjour Lucien, Jeez I confused the terminal emulator, you right my xterm seems to work as you said, but lately I was using terminator or mate-terminal (libvte based) and I see the behavior on those, I switch on all those 3 and I generalized too quickly.
I join a tiny .mkv to display the behavior on a mate-terminal, on this video I show the following line PW$ That is my prompt, then I try to cut from the 'P' and miss it I cut from the 'W' then I try to cut from 'W' placing the mouse on the middle of 'W" again I miss it. Dunno if you will see the same.
