In a  GtkTextView instance (eg gimp simple text edit window or bluefish editor window) , a middle button click to paste the primary selection does not move the text cursor , it remains at it's previous position. 

This is inconsistent with using clipboard insert (either by menu or cntl-v) and is seems incorrect in that it affects the text at the new postition but does not bring the cursor to the focus of the new activity. This is distracting.

I would expect the text cursor to move to the end of the newly inserted text as is the case with clipboard insertion. 

I can't think of a purposeful reason for this not happening , it just seems to be a defect. Please comment if there is a reason.


This leads to a secondary problem.  In order to bring the text cursor to the new focus of activity a second click (button1) is required. This is not only unnecessary but has the nefarious effect of clearing primary selection thus preventing a second paste operation of the same text. 

The X primary selection, copy/paste mechanism is highly ergonomic and this small defect preventing it from working is annoying. In a full blown editor like bluefish this is a significant hindrance to the work-flow.
