Picture elaborating the issue

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install gnome-terminal (2.26.3.1) and Glipper (0.20.5, also borschty@#gnome:
0.22.2)
2. Select text in gnome-terminal. For example, selecting text snippet: "this is
example"
3. see Glipper history. In our example it would be something like this:
"
this is example

this is ex
this is
this

Same problem with any other clipboard manager.

Makes sense.
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-10-23 23:44:22 UTC 
Fixed in master.  Please test.
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-10-24 00:09:34 UTC 
Humm, I reverted the change.  Need to fix bug 598090 before this can be done.  ChPe, any idea?  If right-button is pressed while left-button is still down, the right-button press is caught by g-t and hence vte has no idea it should copy to PRIMARY.

    Finish selection rework
    
    Bug 598124 - The selection does not only change when the mousebutton is released
    
    Only update selection when mouse-button is released (or focus lost).
    Also, update PRIMARY when _select_all() is called.
