Always best to be clear as possible...sorry. |

I did mention mouse scraping twice... and of course middle mouse would |
| 14 |
follow.. and that is the most common way I copy paste. |
| 15 |

| 16 |
I disagree that we all are accustomed to Cntl-v etc. That is more a |
| 17 |
windows phenomena... long time linux (X) users are more accustomed to |
| 18 |
left mouse highlight... middle mouse paste, I think, at lest I am. |

Going back a ways like 12-15yrs, I don't think there were many apps |
| 21 |
(maybe none) that even did ctrl-c ctrl-v. |

Nothing, it was blank. My paste followed Ctrl-t... (it creates a new window with |
| 29 |
blank navigation box) |

I get the same problem posting into a google search box so its not the |
| 37 |
address bar mechanism at work... and like mentioned above it was blank |
| 38 |
anyway. |
| 39 |
|

Also I failed to mention that I'm using Xfce4 desktop, and just in |
| 41 |
case anyone is about to suggest the clipman utility... I find it to be |
| 42 |
utterly and completely useless. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
It never even registers having anything on the clipboard. That is, if |
| 45 |
I `left mouse' highlight something, clipman just shows an empty |
| 46 |
clipboard. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
But then I suppose that might possibly point to some deeper cause that |
| 49 |
is at the root of the problem. |
