--- Comment #2 from Andriy Gapon <[email protected]> ---
I sometimes see a related but different issue.
I select some text, press the middle button but some previously selected text
gets pasted.
I see that the text I've just selected is still selected but the selection
buffer has something else.
Sometimes the issue is "stubborn", I keep re-selecting the text I want to copy
again and again, but the middle click still pastes something else.
Especially, when konsole is involved.
Doing a clipboard copy+paste usually works.
So, I am not sure what could cause the issue in my case: plasma, konsole, or
Xorg in general.
I thought this might be down to different 'backing store' selection I
think it's called (might be wrong though).
I don't know what's in overall control of it, it's sometimes the $TERM
but the way I'd describe it is there's some programs one can select
text in then shift insert into another term to paste but if instead
one right clicks highlighted text in some other program to copy,
shift insert will paste the previous 'just selected' buffer
but right click to paste pastes the right clicked highlight IYSWIM.
yeah it can be confusing :D
