Thanks for asking about this. I have also noticed this, but have just lived with it. This still works in virtual consoles. I tend to edit there because of that. I can just double click, on something I want to put in, and center click to paste at the cursor. The one I notice with this problem is claws mail. It used to work the way I describe above, and then it just stopped doing that. Now it needs a Ctrl-C to copy the highlighted text, then move to the cursor location, and then paste with Ctrl-V. I have also noticed that some applications (Pan?) give no time to cut anymore, but used to work just fine. I don't know how to track down the problem. I'm using X, is this a consequence of substituting XWayland for X? Wayland is missing obscure corner cases that worked in X, I think, and I wonder if this could be one of them. A side effect of enhanced security of some kind? It sure is annoying. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
