Description Yuri 2017-04-03 14:13:36 UTC
How to repeat:
1. Select some text in the terminal
2. Click on the mouse middle button and observe text being pasted from XA_PRIMARY clipboard buffer
3. Open the "Commit" dialog in meld and click the mouse middle button again
4. Nothing is pasted

I noticed several events that erase the XA_PRIMARY buffer. Except for the "Commit" dialog, file open/close in meld directory view also erases it.
