Right to follow this up... I am getting very similar behavior with this system setup:
Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 gedit 2.28.0 Bus 002 Device 005: ID 045e:0039 Microsoft Corp. IntelliMouse Optical To reproduce this behavior you open the text editor as the previous user says choose an item to copy and copy it. Scroll with the mouse wheel say two line to see more text on the page then click one right click and paste and nothing appears where you pasted but it does appear somewhere else in the document. Clicking edit undo will let you find where gedit has placed the text. This is causing corruption in my programming. The solution to the bug as it stands might give a clue as to what the issue is. You must click twice on the paste location and then gedit pastes where it should do. This also happens when scrolling with the mouse button and pressing it to paste what you have selected. The text is getting pasted off screen so that is why it is hard to notice it going on. You could assume that the copy/paste failed and try again each time corrupting your work more and more. Any further info just ask. -- copy/paste bug in gedit leads to corrupted files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234911 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
