** Description changed: 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). + + Edit: + Strange enough, after the double-paste you can undo both pastes separately.
