Okay, here are some additional data points. Attempt 1 (good)
1. Open gedit 2. Type some text 3. Select some text 4. Copy 5. Move cursor 6. Tap top-right of touchpad 7. DOES NOT paste Attempt 2 (bad) 1. Open Google Chrome 2. Select text on page 3. Return to gedit 4. Tap top-right of touchpad 5. PASTES Attempt 3 (good) 1. Open xfce4 Terminal 2. Select some text 3. Right-click, copy 4. Return to gedit 5. Tap top-right of touchpad 6. DOES NOT paste Summary: whether the paste bug occurs depends on which app was used to copy the text. It also depends on which app is receiving the paste, but that list of apps is different. Here's another really weird element of this problem: when the paste occurs in gedit, as in attempt 2, it pastes at the current mouse location, NOT at the location of the text caret. So it's not simply that the mouse driver is triggering a Ctrl-V, otherwise the text would appear at the text caret. In gedit, the paste bug DOES NOT move the text caret, so it's not causing an actual mouse click before the paste; it's pasting INSTEAD of clicking. In Chrome the caret moves along with the paste in the new location. Caveat: if App 1 is active and I hover over App 2, then tap the top-right, the paste occurs in App 2. I tried copying and pasting images in Gimp but the problem doesn't seem to occur with image content. COPY - Apps I've tested where copying triggers a paste: - Google Chrome - Firefox - Character Map - AbiWord COPY - Apps that do not cause a paste: - Gedit - xfce4-terminal PASTE - Apps that receive a paste (if copied from one of the apps above): - Google Chrome - Firefox - Gedit - xfce4-terminal - Character Map PASTE - Apps that do not receive a paste (regardless of how it was copied): - AbiWord -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511496 Title: Synaptics touchpad pastes when clicked in the top-right corner Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I tap the Synaptics touchpad of my laptop, the contents of the clipboard are pasted. It's exactly as if I typed "Ctrl-V" in the current window. I see no way in the touchpad settings to disable this behavior, so it seems like a bug. Action taken: tap the touchpad in the top right of the touchpad Expected result: the mouse is clicked at the current location Erroneous result: the clipboard is pasted into the current application. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: XFCE DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: vboxhost, 5.0.10, 3.19.0-32-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 5.0.10, 3.19.0-33-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics [8086:1616] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:062e] InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-10-16 (33 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140723) LightdmGreeterLogOld: ** (lightdm-gtk-greeter:1286): WARNING **: Failed to load user image: Failed to open file '/home/trewhitte/.face': No such file or directory init: indicator-power main process (1321) killed by TERM signal init: indicator-application main process (1326) killed by TERM signal MachineType: Dell Inc.
