What happened? How do you fix that?
Start xev from an xterm or other terminal emulator. Position the mouse
pointer in the small window that xev generates. Middle-click. You
should see a ButtonPress event of button 2, then a ButtonRelease event
of button 2. If you don't, what do you see? Individual applications
can do what they want when they receive a button 2 event, though the
default is "paste selection". konsole can be set to middle-click "paste
clipboard" instead if you want.
Which WM/DE are you using? Have you re-mapped the default mouse
settings? I thought that Unity or some other less useful DEs disabled
button 2 text pasting to be "friendly".
