143895 - Paste with middle mouse button produces garbage

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Eric Vaandering (no email)]

When selecting text with the left mouse button an pasting with the middle mouse
button, garbage appears in the text fields rather than the desired text. The
garbage looks like (in my font) an "S" with accents, a space, and a "U" with
accents.

In my current session, this seems to have been fixed by using a CTRL-C/CTRL-V
paste. Now the middle mouse paste works OK.

Using RC2 on linux.

worksforme, linux trunk build 2002-05-12-08.  Is this reproduceable?  Is this
branch-only?

It's semi-reproducable. It happens a lot to me. Also, pastes from other apps
(when they work) will do this too. Pastes to other apps are not a problem.

Basically, for me, middle button pastes are horked on RC2. I might have time to
try a nightly. I'll also see if it happens with my other RC2 installation.

Ctrl-C - Ctrl-V produces garbage when copying and pasting from Mozilla to
itself, from Mozilla to another app, but copying from another app and pasting to
mozilla is ok.

Same goes for the middle mouse button.

Are you using today's build?  If so, that's bug 164940

Does anybody still see this?  I can't reproduce it with Firefox 0.8.
