Public bug reported: Problem: When I enable 'Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed' in the settings->mouse menu, I can no longer use ctrl-X/C/V in chromium. The showing of the cursor position deselects the inputbox. Im pretty sure I have seen this behaviour in other apps too. Not only chromium. Except for ubuntu-like apps, they work fine. Could it be Qt? GTK2?
Disabling the 'Show position of pointer..' function solves the issue and ctrl-C etc works again. Reproduce: * turn on 'show position of pointer...' * start chromium * navigate to website with inputbox * Select text * press ctrl-c to copy text * observe text being de-selected Expected behaviour: Copy the selected text to clipboard Observed behaviour: Selected text gets de-selected and does not get copied to the clipboard.
