Do you have a reference? Every complaint I saw so far (and I can give examples) that mention "accidental paste" is specifically because a user wasn't aware of the feature and not because they accidentally triggered it. I struggle to see how you could occasionally trigger it, because doing so requires pressing middle mouse button over an input field — but there's no other functional it would conflict with, hence I can't see how to trigger it occasionally. The reasons I created this issues are that α) some people annoyed by this functional (for whatever reason, they always cite insecurity of occasional paste), and β) it is a unique Linux feature which very few know about. For the paste months I've talked to quite a few converts from Windows on reddit mentioning to them this feature, and the feedback has been either positive or neutral. I'd be glad if I wouldn't have to reveal this cool feature to new people manually 😊 > I'm not especially convinced by something that happens after > the fact; the already has just leaned it's pastes a load of content in their > document because they can see it.

Well, the suggestion is that triggering middle-paste would not paste the content on the first use, but instead would trigger the popup. I.e. nothing was pasted and nobody gets annoyed 😊 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
