Compiz is the issue here when it is set to normal mode the copy paste bug in gedit appears.
When we turn on advanced settings the copy and paste bug seems to disappear in part see below. We turn it off and it it seems to have gone completely. The select, copy and click on new location and paste bit works fine. This has uncovered a new bug this happens whether compiz is on or off : Highlight a bit of text and clicking the scrollwheel at a new location to copy and paste seems to jump back to the original location of the text selected and sometimes pasted where you have just click and other times not. This is also confusing for users who might have scrolled a couples of pages worth of text away from their select location but still better than the copy and paste corruption issue. -- 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
