I just rebuilt mate-applets 1.18.1 on a Linux Mint 18.2 MATE (Live DVD) together with your patch. The patch fixes this bug! Selecting text by mouse works again as expected.
Here is the patch I applied: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-applets/commit/?h=gnome-3-22&id=ac310d6a362db0ddb55ab9bc581a9c92a1c1fed0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675581 Title: [GTK+3 build] Sticky Notes - Can't select text in note To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-applets/+bug/1675581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
