Shift-Insert pastes the link pulled from the "Copy Link Address" in to both Google Chrome (as installed from upstream) and in to gedit (another GNOME application). gnome-terminal is inconsistent in this regard. Furthermore, until I upgraded to artful and started using GNOME Shell/Wayland, it _did_ work. So gnome-terminal (on Ubuntu) has also regressed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726439 Title: Link copied with "Copy Link Address" cannot be pasted with Shift- Insert To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1726439/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
