GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 83412
pasting text from terminal using middle mouse button is broken
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Copy and paste using the mouse buttons in gnome-terminal is not functioning correctly. If you highlight a block of text in one terminal and attempt to copy and paste it using the middle mouse button in another terminal only the very last line in the block of text is pasted. This is the same if attempting to copy and paste text from terminal to gedit. To Recreate: -------------- -start gnome-terminal -vi a text file -start a second gnome-terminal -hightlight a block of text in first gnome-terminal -using middle mouse button paste block of text to second gnome-terminal => only very last line is pasted successfully. This is same if you try to paste text from terminal to gedit.
This is a libzvt bug, can you move it there after marking 83409 and 83410 as dups? No need to file bugs in triplicate. ;-) I think you or someone else filed another bug in triplicate earlier today...

Possibly related to bug 73412 or the 'fixes' for bug 78007?
On 10th thought...

With the gnome-terminal-1.9.6.0.200205311757-0.snap.ximian.1 snap, selecting more than one line no longer copies anything. It used to be that if you selected more than one line, only that last line was copied but now nothing is.

This is related to the patch at 78007 for libzvt. I tried libzvt without the above patch and copy/paste works fine. I see 78007 is reopend. Are some more i18n features being added to libzvt. I am working on this bug and don't want to break any i18n features. If the i18n thing is fixed we shall put a patch for this also.

The latest snap, gnome-terminal-1.9.7.0.200206040515-0.snap.ximian.1, seems to fix this.
Removing 2.0.0 then and adding a dependency to bug 78007; whoever takes the time to finish/rework that bug should be aware of this one.
This still happens with gnome-terminal-1.9.7 and libzvt-1.116.1 in Gentoo.
upgrade to 1.117.0 1.116.x are broken and unsupported to the extreme.
am not seeing this bug in 1.9.6 - it's a sun prebeta build with libzvt 1.117.0 marking this as resolved fixed
marking as fix verified
