[Bug 1209002] Re: Click-to-focus causes unwanted text selection in terminator
Two quick corrections/addenda: 1. I'm not sure why this got categorized under gnome-terminal; I thought I specified the "terminator" package during submission. Sorry for any confusion. I'm a bit new at this. 2. On further experimentation, I'm pretty sure terminator starts a selection if the mouse pointer moves so much as ONE PIXEL in any direction during a click. So it's even more sensitive than described at first -- looks like character cell boundaries have nothing to do with it. Also, the symptom can appear with any click, not just one that brings focus to the terminal window. -- 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/1209002 Title: Click-to-focus causes unwanted text selection in terminator To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1209002/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1209002] [NEW] Click-to-focus causes unwanted text selection in terminator
Public bug reported: When using the mouse to activate a Terminator window, it is difficult not to select a couple of characters or a whole line. This causes errors when trying to copy and paste. It appears that selection is implemented by noting the character cell that the mouse was initially clicked in, and start a selection if the pointer strays into another cell during the click. This is a poor heuristic, because the pointer may have initially been at the edge of a cell, and it is nearly impossible with a high-resolution mouse to remain absolutely still during a click. If I'm not mistaken, the standard way of handling this is to start a selection when the pointer has moved at least the entire width and/or height of a character of a cell during a click, not just when it has crossed a cell boundary. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, using terminator version 0.96-0ubuntu1. What I expect to happen: when clicking to focus a terminator window, no text should be highlighted/selected unless I purposefully drag the mouse during the click. What happens (much of the time): an unexpected text selection is made, causing any previously copied text to be lost before I can paste it. I do not see this behavior with gnome-terminal or xterm. But I have also recently observed it when using terminator on a laptop running Mint, so am pretty sure it is a feature of the terminator application and not something else. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mouse terminator -- 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/1209002 Title: Click-to-focus causes unwanted text selection in terminator To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1209002/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The upgrade didn't cleanly complete - problem with alacarte and python- central, and deskbar-applet. I resolved the first two. But the wireless driver did not load.
