Description Tom Bamford 2007-02-26 14:35:38 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When pasting plain text from the clipboard, sometimes it is inserted into a random part of the document instead of at the cursor position. This happens with both CTRL-V and the middle mouse button (I haven't tried the paste toolbar button). The location that it's inserted seems quite random, mostly in the middle of another line way further down in the document. You can undo the paste but then you lose your place because it jumps the cursor to where it just incorrectly pasted.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy some text from a file in gedit
2. Paste that text somewhere into a long document
3. 


Actual results:
It only screws it up sometimes, it's difficult to reproduce.

Expected results:
To paste at the cursor position, not in a random place.

Does this happen every time?
No

There is another bug about this issue... I never managed to reproduce though.
