Public bug reported:

On a clean up to date Artful system I noticed some odd behavior in the
terminal.

Steps to reproduce:-

1. Open a terminal by right clicking the desktop and Open Terminal.
2. Double click the command prompt
3. Middle click to paste

Expected behavior

Contents of terminal appears pasted

Actual behavior

Nothing

Oddly, terminals launched from the activities menu or by pressing
CTRL+ALT+T don't exhibit this behavior. In addition, sometimes it works
if you copy from a terminal launched in the two mentioned ways, and try
to paste into the one launched from the desktop.

Video showing me launching a terminal from the activities menu where
middle click paste works. Launching a terminal from the desktop context
menu and middle click paste not working. Then launching gedit where also
I can't paste what I have highlighted in the terminal, but can copy from
gedit to terminal via middle click paste.
