Description Peter Backes 2017-11-01 02:16:34 UTC

Description of problem:
When I select something in an xfce4-terminal window and Press Shift+Strg+C to copy it into the clipboard, then start screen, the contents of the clipboard are lost.

This happens only if the selection is in the same terminal that I run screen in. If the selection is in other xfce4-terminal windows or tabs the bug does not occur 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vte291-0.48.4-1.fc26.x86_64
xfce4-terminal-0.8.6-1.fc26.x86_64
screen-4.6.1-1.fc26.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open xfce4-terminal
2. select the prompt
3. Press Shift+Strg+C
4. enter "screen" in the terminal
5. press middle mouse button. Enter Shift+Strg+V

Actual results:
Step 4 + 5: nothing happens

Expected results:
Prompt is pasted into the window

Additional info:
Problem does not occur with xterm

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2017-11-04 23:44:04 UTC

Can you file this upstream at bugzilla.xfce.org?

Or I can if you prefer...

Comment 2 Peter Backes 2017-11-06 09:59:02 UTC

The bug can also be reproduced with gnome-terminal, so it is a vte bug.

Comment 3 Egmont Koblinger 2018-03-06 08:23:04 UTC

Fixed upstream in vte-0.51.92 (https://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?id=a9e75c451).

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:11:09 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:54:05 UTC

Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
