--- Comment #8 from Thomas Haller <thal...@redhat.com> ---
I think the new behavior is rather unconvenient and not only about CTRL+A.
In the past, when I selected something (with mouse or keyboard), it ended up in
the clipboard history (I could find it with CTRL+ALT+V and copy it again). Such
a mouse-selection would also be pasted with middle-mouse-click (good). But it
was not pasted during CTRL+V. It behaved, as if there are two levels of
"copied":
- the explicit copy with CTRL+C or selection with CTRL+ALT+V (what you could
paste with CTRL+V)
- the text selection, that was pastable with the middle mouse button.
(while both would end up in the history).
That was perfect.
Now, it seems everything that ends up in the history, is also pasted during
CTRL+V. For example, imagine you select TEXTA and copy with CTRL+C. Then you
switch to a input text field and press CTRL+A (or select only a paragraph, that
you want to be replaced). Now press CTRL+V. Previously, this would have pasted
TEXTA, as desired. Now, the most recent selection gets pasted. Very cumbersome.
What I do then, I delete first what I wanted to replace, press CTRL+ALT+V to
find the earlier TEXTA selections, copy it again, and paste it.
The alternative is to not put selections in the clipboard history, but that is
also not what I want, because the clipboard history is very useful to contain
all selections.
I don't think that the configuration menu allows to restore the previous
behavior.
