Linux desktop has two copy-paste buffers, the Primary (aka. Selection) [usually selected with the mouse and inserted with middle clicking or Shift+Insert] and the Clipboard [usually Ctrl+C Ctrl+V, but also "Copy", "Paste" and similar menu entries].
It sucks big time that Linux desktop couldn't overcome this in the past few decades and unify to have only one. But in the mean time you shouldn't mix the two methods and expect to work. It might work here and there, but don't expect it to work everywhere. It's not gnome-terminal to blame, but the entire Linux desktop world. Use either of them, but only of the two methods at a time. gnome-terminal's "Copy Link Address" right-click menu item copies to the Clipboard, while Shift+Insert pastes Primary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726439 Title: Link copied with "Copy Link Address" cannot be pasted with Shift- Insert To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1726439/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
