Title:
I'm also seeing this bug in gnome-terminal 2.30.2. It causes frequent
errors when I attempt to copy and paste text between windows.
Fortunately, other terminals don't seem to have this bug. I've switched
to konsole, which works great.

This bug is still very alive.
Curiously, I have number of machines and it only happens in one of them.
This machine uses the nVidia driver and has Xinerama enabled. However, I
have coworkers with the same configuration where the problem does not
happen.
My first reaction (before I saw this bug)
I can confirm this bug too.
It only happens with xinerama enabled.
When I open a gnome-terminal, focus on another window (does not need to
be a terminal), and click into the terminal to focus it again, it
immediately selects a whole line.
Happens with any visual effects setting.
xterm
I also see the same problem on Ubuntu 10.04 (and Fedora Core 13). I am
running on Mac Pro towers and am running with Xinerama enabled with the
nvidia driver. I only see this behaviour with gnome-terminal. Konsole,
xterm and others behave as expected.

click-to-focus window is too sensitive
I can verify that the gnome-terminal is receiving MotionNotify events
(which are presumably what make it select full lines when you click-to-
focus past the end of text on a line).
Tested as follows:
In Assitive Technologies keyboard preferences, enable controlling the mouse
from the keyboard
Another debugging idea that might be useful: What happens if you
replace gnome-terminal with xev? That is, give focus to an xev window
by clicking inside it (using accessibility keyboard-driven fake mouse).
Does it print any event regarding mouse movement or anything unusual?

click-to-focus
I'm runing Ubuntu 10.04 with latest updates (as for yesterday 18:00 UTC)
and gnome-terminal 2.29.6.
Here the problem is as following:
When you click on text in the deactivated window and move the cursor
around a few pixels, text gets selected. While this is not very
userfriendly it is at least
I'm using recent Ubuntu 10.04 with all updates up to yesterday 18:00
UTC. My gnome-terminal version is 2.29.6.
I tried to reproduce this bug using the keyboard controlled mouse from
accessibility settings. With that I could make clicks whilst ensuring
absolutely no mouse movement.
When the
@nomike: Many people can reproduce this bug, while many other (incl. me)
cannot. You mention that the bug only occurs when the window is given
focus, not when it already has it.
Just wondering: is it possible that you're using a theme where the
window itself moves when getting focus? (I mean the
Confirming this nasty behaviour for 10.04 ... i first recognized it

Mattias: no, I'm booting into Ubuntu natively.
It always happens to me whenever I click past the end-of-line in a terminal
screen. It started happening after I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04.

This behaviour must be inherent in some other GUI library, because it's
not apparent in the gnome-terminal code.
I use the highlight copy/paste buffer so extensively that this is a very
serious usability issue for me. I finally got fed up and installed
konsole. While it did install some 191MB
Further notes:
- It's not just while focusing into the window, but that's when the
behaviour is most annoying.
- The problem is worst in the end of line space to the right of text
in the terminal. In that area, any mouse movement (seemingly even a
sub-pixel movement) will cause a selection and
clearly an usability bug.
the gnome terminal should not create a new selection until the mouse cursor is
dragged by at least one character.
accidental mouse movements are nearly unavoidable with todays high resolution
screens.

steps to reproduce:
1. open 2 gnome-terminals

3. run a 'ls' a few times in each to get a variety of characters on each
4. click-to-focus between the two terminals a few times, and notice that doing
I have the same problem. I use metacity, but don't think it is related to
metacity. It goes like this:

(1) I use mouse left button to select some text in terminal 1.
(2) Move mouse over the terminal 2, click with left

don't see the issue here, may you tell us a few easy steps in order to
reproduce the bug? could you test the same with karmic and comment back?
thanks.
