GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676918
Alt-F2 + mouse middle button paste causes freeze
Last modified: 2012-09-12 17:24:19 UTC
1) select text with mouse 2) press Alt-F2 to get gnome-shell command line 3) press middle mouse button to paste the selected text This causes the shell command line to become unresponsive. The command line is not responding to keys or mouse clicks. Gnome-shell is still working, e.g. keyboard layout switcher keyboard shortcut is working - the indicator is changing the layout code. Only way out is to go the text mode console Ctrl-Alt-F1 and restart the shell (kill -HUP <shell pid>).

Here middle-click has no effect in the Alt+F2 dialog, and everything still works fine after an attempt. Shell 3.4.1 on Fedora 17.
More detailed steps: 1) select some text with mouse in gnome-terminal 2) press Alt-F2 to get gnome-shell command line 3) write something (e.g. "a") 4) press middle mouse button to paste the selected text Distribution is Ubuntu 12.04, gnome-shell package version 3.4.1-0ubuntu2. All shell extensions disabled. Without step 3 the middle click paste has also no effect for me.
middle-click paste also freeze the shell in the search entry in the overview. Thats bad
I'm working on it. Seems a clutter fault managing clutter.c an its signals.
sorry, I meant managing clutter-text
Carlos, did you come to any conclusions ?
Florian, could have a look at this instead ?
This was one of the issues caused by using a ClutterClickAction with ClutterText; we no longer do this, so this is fixed now.
