When using the mouse to copy and paste with marking text and pressing the middle mouse button Xfrun4 confuses the clipboard. Example: - mark some text in a web browser or similar - press [Alt]+[F2] - type the name of your editor application and hit enter - press middle mouse button in your editor excepted behavior: "some text" gets pasted actual behavior: "application name" gets pasted Using the context menu or [Ctrl]+[C]/[V] still works as expected, but the behavior mentioned above is quite annoying anyway. (Using Arch Linux and xfce-utils 4.8.3-1)
Xfrun4 is being replaced by xfce4-appfinder for the next version of Xfce. I can't reproduce the issue with xfce4-appfinder, although I can confirm it with Xfrun4. If you install the development version of xfce4-appfinder[1], you can bind Alt-f2 to 'xfce4-appfinder --collapsed'. [1] http://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfce4-appfinder/4.9/
this are good news. the insertion of the progam name in xfrun is annoying! I was here to file a bug for that :)

While a text selection is made it's actually normal the primary clipboard content changes, it's the expected behavior. appfinder now also supports some completion magic where the text you didn't type appears and is selected.

While it is maybe the expected behavior, you must recognize that it is very unconvenient sometimes… So an option to remove this behavior would be really appreciated.
Feel free to make a request for xfce4-appfinder, for xfrun4 you can forget about it, since it has a very small probably to see a new release :) I asked on IRC... 11:53 <+m8t> NSchermer: JPohlmann: appfinder auto-selects text with the auto-completion feature, "some" users might not wish that feature to avoid "losing" the primary clipboard selection 11:54 <+m8t> might be it a good idea to have an option for that? 11:54 <+m8t> a hidden one f.e.
