Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
gedit Version 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
Hello,
I have a problem which is a little bit hard to replicate but bear with
me as I do not know which factors really are important.
1. Open a more than 2k plaintext-file (I happen to have this bug with
php/html-files but I guess it does not matter).
2. Open a write-protected .doc-file in OpenOffice (it must - think - have some
styles other than default).
3. Copy a number of words (multiple lines possible) which include
utf-8-characters (for example a letter with acute or an umlaut) to the
clipboard.
4. select about 20 characters in your gedit file which are not at the beginning
or the end of a line (some words in the middle)
5. use ctrl+v to paste
It now should have replaced the selected text. Sometimes it doesn't. If
it did, press ctrl+z for "undo" and press ctrl+v again. Do net press
other keys like to cursor-keys and do not reselect the text. Repeat
until a ctrl+v operation does not do the standard paste.
Now you can move the cursor around and even write some letters. Press
ctrl+v again and it will paste your clipboard-text two times.
The rate of pasting and undoing has nothing to do with the bug as it can
also happen on the first paste. This is just to replicate.
Also I noted:
When the paste does not happen, you can select new text and press ctrl+c and it
will directly paste the newly copied text after the original one without
pressing ctrl+v.
I think it is important that you copy from a rich-text field but I am really
not sure.
I think it does not matter, but I am using a dual monitor configuration (only
one x-session).
I hope you can replicate this bug as it is really annoying (especially
when you paste much stuff from OOo to html-files).
