Looks like a case of Problem between Keyboard and Chair. I notice that middle clicks work when I release the button very quickly. It is hard to say now of course, I think that that was not necessary previously, which is what mislead me. I will leave it up to others whether to keep this open or close it.

I can middle-click paste in e.g. Firefox, but neither from nor to gnome- terminal. I have not seen this while docked with an external mouse.
