Description Milan Crha 2009-02-13 17:30:56 UTC 
Moving this from the downstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485449

Open a new mail window in Evolution.
Type some text.
Select and copy/paste small fragment of it.
Now deselect it, so that you don't have any selected text.

Select a text in any other window (I do it in konsole with mouse).

Got back to Evolution window.

If you paste (with mouse or by pressing Ctrl-V) EXACTLY on current text cursor
position, it works correctly.

But if you move cursor first using cursor keys, and then paste text, it will
paste wrong text - the old one, which you selected on step 3.


Looks like cursor movement with keyboard in Evolution somehow tricks klipper
into thinking that Evolution re-selected old selected text.

for gtkhtml;

It used primary selection, which wasn't cleared.
