Description
Selecting text with the left mouse button and then inserting it with the middle button is common with X11 on Linux/Unix. This bug is annoying, as you can not insert a part of the key with mouse only copy & and paste operation.
I used a fresh install of josm 3936 with default settings and no plugins.
Bug-Howto:
- Start JOSM.
- Create a new layer.
- Add a node and selct it.
- Click on "add tag.
- Type something into the key field (e.g. "contact:"), place the cursor behind the last char and make sure, the text in the key input field is deselected.
- Switch to a different application and select some text (with the mouse or with the e.g. cotext menu) and make sure it was copied to the clipboard. (E.g. with KDE and klipper, that I used, this old style text selection must first turned on in the klipper settings, on most other window manager this behaviour is the default).
- Switch back to JOSM to insert it.
- As JOSM has the focus again, it auto selects all text that was typed in the key field before. This unwanted auto-selection overrrides the input of the clipboard, so you can't paste what you wanted.
