Re: Re: Middle mouse button stopped pasting
I have also noticed a change to middle mouse button pasting in Fedora 20. The middle mouse button used to paste into gvim at the position of the cursor regardless of where I clicked. Now, all of a sudden, it moves the cursor then inserts text (Yuck!) I am using fluxbox as my window manager. What window manager or desktop environment are you using? The only recent and relevant update I see in /var/log/yum.log is ibus-libs. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Yes, this is very irritating. The old behavior was excellent. I find myself using vim in virtual consoles, where that is still the default behavior with gpm, instead of gvim, whenever possible. I suspect changes to gtk, since that has also changed behavior in firefox unless configuration is explicitly changed. Have you noticed that all scroll bars became click-to-position instead of click-pgup-pgdn? That was due to the change in gtk. Even changing the setting doesn't get rid of all of it, since that is still the behavior I see in claws-mail, though it did fix firefox. Great for small touch screens. Not so hot for large screens with pointing devices attached. First, I used the suggestion from the arch wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini [Settings] gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false except I changed it to =0 like the rest of the settings in the file. And from comment 42 in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803633 Note, I figured a way that works for all gtk 2.0 applications while keeping Adwaita: Create a $HOME/.themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file with the following content: include /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = 0 Now firefox works, but as the arch wiki says, not all applications respect this setting. So it doesn't fix everything with this behavior. It is also possible to leave this behavior as click-to-position, and instead use the right click to get the old click-pgup-pgdn behavior that used to be left click. That doesn't fix this behavior in gvim, though. Probably another change is responsible for that. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

That is seriously annoying. There's next to no-way to use that. You can't predict where you'll end up in a page by clicking on a spot in the scroll bar, it's not like it has any markers in it (or the page). And click and drag isn't practical with very long pages. On the other hand, being able to paginate without having to go back to the keyboard, was very useful. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
