[Desktop-packages] [Bug 735665] Re: Impossible to disable middle-click paste without breaking the middle mouse button
Support for changing this was added to GTK. You can create the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini with these contents: [Settings] gtk-enable-primary-paste=true Or you can just use gnome-tweak-tool, which exposes this setting as a check box. 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 Desktop Packages, 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 Status in GTK+: Unknown Status in X.Org X server: Won't Fix Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I've found plenty of forum posts from other people complaining about this but I couldn't find an existing but report in Launchpad.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 735665] Re: Impossible to disable middle-click paste without breaking the middle mouse button
As a coder, this is a really annoying feature. I am most of the time in a Mumble channel chatting to friends as well as coding. My talk button is set to my middle mouse button and each time I chat I unknowingly paste clipboard data into my code. This causes the compiler to freak out and has me tracking down the code that the Middle Mouse Paste feature has pasted into my scripts!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 735665] Re: Impossible to disable middle-click paste without breaking the middle mouse button
+1 to allowing a user to disable the pasting ability with the middle button. I writing alot of code in aptana studio and as i scroll up and down the page, my middle button sometimes clicks and as a results leaves errors in the code if I don't notice. I would expect a simple tick box to enable and disable this functionality in the mouse settings window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/735665 Title: Impossible to disable middle-click paste without breaking the middle mouse button Status in X.Org X server: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-desktop” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've found plenty of forum posts from other people complaining about this but I couldn't find an existing but report in Launchpad.
