Ctrl-C ignored after pasting a long text in an X terminal emulator

The following issue is reproducible in several terminals, e.g. xterm and GNOME Terminal, and several shells, e.g. bash and zsh. 1. From the shell in an X terminal emulator, run an X application in foreground, e.g. emacs-gtk or xterm. 2. Paste a long text (e.g. the contents of /usr/share/doc/libc6

Hi, I recently reinstalled my laptop with Debian testing and since then the mouse wheel is almost unsual. I used it (on Openbox) to switch between desktops, and it used to be that one "click" (not as in middle mb, but ratcheting of the mousewheel) would switch by one desktop. Now it switches throu
