Hello
I am a Windows user and I really want to use Ubuntu now !
But there is one thing that disturb me : the automatic copy to clipboard of the mouse selection !
For exemple, I often need to copy a word of a part of text and to paste it on another part of text to replace it.
With Windows, I select the text to copy, I press Ctrl-C to copy it into the clipboard, then I select the part of text to replace and I press Ctrl-V to paste.
With Linux it is impossible to select the part of text to be replaced because it would overwrite the clipboard with this selection !
Could you tell me if it is possible to disable the automatic copy to clipboard of the mouse selection and how to do it please ?
If it not possible, it would be very useful to add this kind of configuration in the next version of Ubuntu. I know that we are many people to have the same problem.
Thanks a lot
