Description Tom Tromey 2008-05-09 15:26:43 UTC
When I right-click and choose "copy link address", I can't then
paste the address using a middle click.  Instead I must use
right-click -> paste.

I would prefer to just have a single way to copy/paste, and I'd prefer
to be able to paste copied URLs using the middle mouse button.
(I could copy the URL using the left mouse button, but that requires
more dexterity.)

I notice that firefox generally works the way I want, here.
I would like it if gnome-terminal did the same.

Middle click pastes PRIMARY not CLIPBOARD => NOTABUG.
