matrixxx-dev created an issue (geany/geany#4244)

I would like to address a problem that has already been dealt with: "PRIMARY selection should be stable #2323"

The 'normal' behavior of the PRIMARY selection in Linux (middle mouse button) is that it remains until a new selection is made. That is also my opinion.

Some editors respect this behavior. For example, Mousepad, Bluefish, CodeLite, SciTE, and a few more ... Therefore, it should be noted that SciTE is a reference implementation of Scintilla. CodeLite use Scintilla too.

In Geany, after making a selection, a left mouse click anywhere in the editor (without a selection) of the same document deletes the PRIMARY selection. You can no longer paste it.

However, none of the aforementioned editors exhibit this behavior. Also SciTE. So I do not belief the behavior comes from Scintilla. That's why I think I can't post a feature request on Scintilla.

And So it could be that it has something to do with Geany. And i do not belief the behavior is normal X11 operation. Otherwise, the other editors will do something wrong.

I would now ask you to please consider this once more. Thank you.
