This behaviour must be inherent in some other GUI library, because it's not apparent in the gnome-terminal code.
I use the highlight copy/paste buffer so extensively that this is a very serious usability issue for me. I finally got fed up and installed konsole. While it did install some 191MB of KDE libraries, I'm quite happy with the end result. konsole has a very similar feature-set (tabs, etc) and tons of configuration options like gnome-terminal. For anybody else that wants to use konsole as a workaround for this bug: sudo apt-get install konsole I also put a launcher icon in my to panel pointing to /usr/bin/konsole. -- click-to-focus window is too sensitive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445084 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
