Description of problem: Text which has been selected using shift-left-click is highlighted, but isn't entered into the cut-paste buffer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.28.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with multiple words of text on the screen, e.g., "foo bar". 2. Double left-click on "foo"; "foo" is now highlighted. 3. Press the shift key and and single left-click on "bar"; the entire string "foo bar" is now highlighted. 4. Select "Copy" from the "Edit" menu. 5. At this point, doing a "Paste" will only produce the single word "foo", not "foo bar". Actual results: Only the first selected/highlighted word is copied. Expected results: All selected/highlighted text should be copied. Additional info:
On a freshly installed FC 13 machine, i386, I uninstalled gnome-terminal and installed the version from FC 10, and this bug is still there. That might suggest it is not in the gnome-terminal code itself, but in some shared code...? Tried this with: gnome-terminal.i386 2.24.3-1.fc10 and gnome-terminal.i686 2.30.1-1.fc13 The extend selection function does work in xterm, and it works fine in firefox (tested using the location/address box), so if it is a shared library, it would seem not to be one shared with either of those two for this function; it also works with gedit in a document.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. 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 prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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.

Hi, the version number of Fedora should be changed to Fedora 13, as it is reproducible on that version, as well.
Still reproduces in the Fedora 13.
I believe this is a bug in VTE rather than in gnome-terminal. Looks like this git commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?id=5dc9b3ce32070f1a7040b8ed24d9d463ad6a67b0 To fix the corresponding bug upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614658 The bug seems to be fixed in Fedora 14.

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
