Hi
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 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.
+ == HOW TO REPRODUCE ==
+ - open the 'findwindow' (edit->search)
+ - enter a string in the text entry and search
+ - Select (highlight) a string with your mouse
+ - open the 'findwindow' (edit->search) again
+ - paste with the 3rd button.
+
+ Result:
+ You can't paste. The buffer has been replaced by the highlighted text in the
find window
+
+
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);
