From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020401 Description of problem: I open up a gnome-terminal. I type this is a test I double click on "test", and hold the left mouse button down. I drag the mouse left to teh word "this", expecting all 4 words "this" "is" "a" "test" to be selected, but no, the text to the left of the original click-word is selected, but not the original clicked word. in other words. if I paste, I end up with "this is a " instead of "this is a test". An Xterm will definately give me "this is a test" using the same click-and-drag behaviour as above. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See description 2. 3. Actual Results: I end up with "this is a " being pasted. Expected Results: I would have expected "this is a test" to be pasted. Additional info: This is not consistent behaviour with any other X cut/paste behaviour.
The behavior needs to be synced to entry/text widgets in applications. I filed the bug upstream on libzvt: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78289 Closing on RH level, we'll inherit any upstream solution.
