After some fiddling I notice it only works if you don't deselect what you have highlighted. I normally highlight, click where I want then middle click. This behaviour works in all other GTK software but not Geany. Strange.
I concur. With this comment in mind I selected some text in Geany, left-clicked where I wanted to paste it, and then tried a middle-click. Nothing was pasted as the selection disappeared once the left-click was performed. However, a middle-cleck without first left-clicking resulted in pasted text as expected.
I can paste from Geany to another app and the selection remains highlighted even though Geany is not the focused app. Pasting from another app works so long as the text remains highlighted.
I'm using Geany 0.21 "Gromia" on Debian Sid with XFCE4 on one box and Gnome3 Shell on a laptop.
Hi Nate,
Yes, AFAIK middle mouse click has always required the selection to remain highlighted since X was in MIT nappies.
Clearly left clicking in the same app will de-select so nothing pastes, but left clicking in another ap just gets focus and the selection doesn't change.
Cheers Lex
