Description of problem: ctrl-s search is broken with 'emacs -nw' when using copy/paste search string with mouse Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-25.0.93-2.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a file 'emacs -nw foobar' 2. search 'ctrl s' 3. copy/paste some text to search with a mouse Actual results: The pasted text goes into the file buffer - modifying the file. Expected results: The pasted text should go into the search box at the bottom Additional info: This mode worked fine with emacs in F23 This issue was previously reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161786#c15
Filed upstream: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23519
The upstream bugreport now has a patch. I have verified locally that it fixes this bug. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=869092c9ed373e97f92c7f7518396e3fbdb24dd8
The fix will be available in the next emacs release.
I tried using emacs-25.0.95-1.fc24.x86_64 - the primary issue appears to be resolved. However - there is a minor regression in behaviour. When copy/pasting text - all the upper-case letters are converted to lower-case. I see this is the default behaviour in GUI mode. However in GUI mode - If I do the following - the upper-case letters are preserved Ctrl-S, mouse-select command bar, copy/paste text. [Normal mode is: Ctrl-S, copy/paste text on command bar]
