I was able to reproduce this behavior.
I did notice that right clicking in the Search Field and then selecting
"paste" in the contextual window did work appropriately.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: synaptic
Hi
- In synaptic, you can use the "select and past" functionality in the find
- window. (3° mouse button to past)
+ In Synaptic, you can use the "cut and paste" functionality to place
+ search terms into the Search windows text field. (3° mouse button to
+ past) This is not refering to the Quick Search, but the Search dialog
+ box you get when you click the Search button in the toolbar at the top
+ of the window.
- When you open the find window the text of last search criteria is
- selected then you lost your selected data you wan to copy.
+ When you open the Search window the text of the last search criteria is
+ selected. This causes the paste function, accessed by clicking the
+ scroll wheel, to no longer function correctly. Clicking the scroll wheel
+ should "paste" the "cut" text into the Search field. Instead clicking
+ the scroll wheel results in no text being pasted into the Search field.
Here a very simple patch to solve the problem
diff -r synaptic-0.62.2ubuntu2/gtk/rgfindwindow.cc
synaptic-0.62.2ubuntu2-jmb0007/gtk/rgfindwindow.cc

< gtk_editable_select_region(GTK_EDITABLE(entry), 0, -1);

> gtk_editable_select_region(GTK_EDITABLE(entry), 0, 0);
