There is a GNOME bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665193 for changing the default. ** Package changed: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) => gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #665243 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665243 ** Project changed: gnome-settings-daemon => gtk ** Changed in: gtk Importance: Medium => Unknown ** Changed in: gtk Status: Confirmed => Unknown ** Changed in: gtk Remote watch: GNOME Bug Tracker #665193 => GNOME Bug Tracker #665243 ** Bug watch removed: GNOME Bug Tracker #665193 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665193 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/735665 Title: Impossible to disable middle-click paste without breaking the middle mouse button To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/735665/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
