Subject: bug#18939: 24.4; middle-click sometimes pastes data other than the PRIMARY selection
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 2014 21:56:44 +0100
Usually a middle-click pastes the PRIMARY selection, but sometimes
it pastes something else. I don't know how to reproduce this bug,
but it occurred several times in the last two hours.
