Is this with a gtk2 or gtk1 build ? If it's a gtk2 build this is a known bug.

Do you see this only in Firebird or also in Mozilla ?

Piotr, this worskforme with a linux trunk 2004-01-11-07 nightly and with a CVS SeaMonkey build from this morning. So could you please provide some more information? Your exact build config would be a good start. Also is this only a problem with Firebird, or with SeaMonkey builds too? You've filed this as a SeaMonkey bug...
Severity: normal → major
I've just checked with a nightly build of seamonkey and it turns out to be a Firebird only issue.

I just tried this with the latest Firebird nightly, and cannot reproduce. Copy/Paste seems to be working fine. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040124 Firebird/0.8.0+
Is your build a GTK2/Xft too? Because definitely middle click pasting doesn't work now. I also keep an older build dated 27112003 which works fine.

Maybe this is a pref problem. Please have a look at about:config and check whether middlemouse.paste is set to true. It should be true on Linux. If it's false, please do a |grep -nr middlemouse.paste *| in your MozillaFirebird directory.

my about:config reports that middlemouse.paste is set to false, status default. [lee@foonine lee]$ cd /usr/local/src/phoenix/mozilla/dist/bin/ [lee@foonine mozilla]$ grep -nr middlemouse.paste * Binary file components/libeditor.so matches defaults/pref/all.js:511:pref("middlemouse.paste", false); greprefs/all.js:653:pref("middlemouse.paste", false); greprefs/all.js:819:pref("middlemouse.paste", true);
Comment 13•21 years ago

That's it: Please delete defaults/pref/all.js. It got replaced by firebird.js, which doesn't contain that pref, thus not overriding greprefs/all.js. The latter file sets the pref to false in general (line 653), then to true on linux systems (line 819). See bug 231200 for details.
