Package: parcellite
Version: 1.1.8-1
Severity: important
This is a really interesting bug and it was hard to notice it. To find
out that it belongs to parcellite (somehow...), was a lucky strike.
Anyway it's important, because it's messing with the copy-paste
behaviour, which is quite important to work when programming.
What happens: if I try to mark text, either with mouse or the keyboard,
the marking is canceled. On the second try, it is not canceled - IF you
choose the same part of the text or more precise you choose the same
content: If you choose the sentence 'Mark me twice' once in line 1 and
once in line 2, it will stay marked.
Test field - try on your own! :)

Now the next special feature of this bug: it only affects some programs.
I tested these:
Affected: gedit, qalculate, xchat, meld
Not affected: chromium, iceweasel, vlc, geany, konsole, matlab (although
copy and pasting here was strange...), ...
History
I think, when starting with Jessie...
(after not-so-clean upgrade from Wheezy about 1 week ago (needed to
remove and later reinstall a lot because not solvable of dependencies.
(I had used some Jessie-packages and some from Ubuntu to get some newer
program versions, maybe that's the reason... naaah, forget, I probably
removed them all :) ... hopefully you verify this bug!...)
...I experienced a segfault bug, probably #744047
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744047
and solved it be editing the .config/par.../parcelliterc.
I keep my fingers crossed, that you can reproduce it. In the other case
I probably have to switch away from this great copy-paste-extension.
