Ubuntu 20.04 uses the following vte packages:
libvte-2.91-0, version 0.60.1-1ubuntu1

gir1.2-vte-2.91, version 0.60.1-1ubuntu1
In Ubuntu 21.04, when text is pasted into Gnome Terminal, the text is
always highlighted.
- It appears as if the text is selected, but it is only highlighted.
- If you right-click on this highlighted text, the "Copy" option is actually
disabled.
- Clicking in the terminal or clicking on the highlighted text does not
un-highlight the text.
- The only way to un-highlight the pasted text is to type a key.
- If you try to select the highlighted text by clicking and dragging the mouse
pointer, the text color actually inverts, and the text looks like it is not
selected, when it in fact is selected. enter image description here
This confusing behavior is not present in Ubuntu 20.04.
- In Ubuntu 20.04, when text is pasted into Gnome Terminal, the text is not
highlighted.
- Then, selecting the text highlights it, as expected.
