Description Zeljko Jovanovic 2013-04-28 03:47:13 CEST
Text on clipboard which originate from another application can be pasted into Terminal only after something is copied to clipboard from Terminal itself. Before that is done, Terminal usually behaves as if clipboard were empty, but sometimes (more rarely) outputs incorrect text.

After there is copy-to-clipboard operation from Terminal itself, all subsequent clipboard operations behave normally.

In Terminal version 4.8.0, everything worked normally.

My previous bug report was not correct - pasting clipboard text works normally,  when it is selected from menu, or by Ctrl-Shift-V.

There is actually a problem with Shift-Insert accelerator, which works erratically (as specified previously).

The behaviour changed starting from version 0.6.0.

All methods of pasting the clipboard contents are working fine for me. Can you test a more recent version?
Comment 3 Zeljko Jovanovic 2016-06-22 13:51:15 CEST

I am running the latest version (0.6.3), and here is the current behavior:

If a text is selected and placed on the clipboard within the xfce4-terminal itself (by any method), it can be pasted into the xfce4-terminal (or any other application), also by any method.

However, if a text is placed on the clipboard by another application, it can only be pasted into the xfce4-terminal by menu or Ctrl-Shift-V. Shift-Insert does not work in this case.

Should I try latest CVS snapshot?

Copying from the browsing and pasting by Shift-Ins is working fine for me.
Could you please try the git version (which is gtk3-based)? Thanks.

Zeljko?

Igor, sorry for a long delay.

The problem existed on my gtk2 only system (with no gtk3 installed).

When I compiled Xfce on gtk2+gtk3 system, everything works fine, even with xfce4-terminal 0.6.3.

Kind regards,

Željko Jovanović
