Subject: using mouse to paste into comint buffer
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:47:18 -0600

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


If I try to select some text in a gnome-terminal and then paste it
into a gud buffer, the actually-pasted text will often end up being
the command on the previous line, rather than whatever I selected.

This only seems to happen when the prompt line is the very last line
of the window.  If I recenter first, I can paste my selection -- but
this is pretty inconvenient and I often forget to do it.



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I can't seem to reproduce this.  Nick, can you?

No, but I have encountered cut and paste problems in Emacs in the past (not GUD
specific).  I think these are generally due to the fact that the buffer I've
copied to is different to the one I'm trying to paste from: primary, secondary,
clipboard, kill ring, etc.

More information was requested three years ago, and was apparently not
given, so I'm closing this report.
