In Fedora 43 and all earlier version, in gnome-workstation desktop, mouse selection of a piece of text will copy it, and middle click on the mouse will paste it. In Fedora 44, this no longer works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use mouse to select some text in a terminal window 2.use mouse to click and focus somewhere else and click middle button (on my mouse, the wheel) 3.nothing is pasted Actual Results: nothing is pasted Expected Results: the selected text should be pasted at the new focused location
The default was changed intentionally in GNOME 50 - thread https://discourse.gnome.org/t/please-retain-middle-click-paste/33477 The behavior can be restored by: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true
Thanks for the pointer.
