This bug may be specific to systems running X Window, such as Linux. It occurs with
both 4.2final and 4.3pre13 on both Debian Testing (with Java 1.6.0_04) and on Ubuntu
Feisty (with Java 1.5.0_11). On my systems, Quick Copy is turned off.
Create a text file containing the words `foo' and `bar'. Double-click `foo', so that
it's in the X selection. To confirm, middle-click a shell prompt -- `foo' should
appear.
Now go back to jEdit. Using the keyboard, rather than the mouse, select `bar'. Don't
press Ctrl+C or select `Edit: Copy'. Press Ctrl+F to bring up the `Find' dialogue.
`bar' will appear in the `Search for' box, and will be selected. Now go back to your
shell prompt and middle-click it: `bar' will appear, because jEdit has overwritten
the X selection.

Middle click in the terminal window. See foo appear. 6. Alt-tab back to Kate 7. Select bar with the keyboard (using Shift and arrow) 8. Alt-tab back to the terminal window. 9. Middle click in the terminal window. See foo appear. 10. Alt-tab back to Kate. 11. Press Ctrl-F. See bar appear in the find dialog. 12. Alt-tab back to the terminal window. 13. Middle click in the terminal window. See foo appear. Now repeat with jEdit: 14. Open jEdit 15. Type "foo bar" in an empty text area 16. Select foo with the mouse 17. Open a terminal window 18. Middle click in the terminal window. See foo appear. 19. Alt-tab back to jEdit 20. Select bar with the keyboard (using Shift and arrow) 21. Alt-tab back to the terminal window. 22.

Middle click in the terminal window. See bar appear. This is the bug, foo should have appeared. Opening the jEdit find dialog caused the X selection to be overwritten. |
