<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">More anedoctal evidence: at my job, some windows users who access<br>
GNU/Linux and AIX servers via Putty, regularly use "copy on select"<br>
(which Putty provides) and do *love* *it*!<br>
<br>
Since Windows doesn't have the concept of pasting the PRIMARY buffer<br>
with the "middle button", Putty uses the right button for it.<br>
<br>
There is also another argument against changing this behaviour on<br>
Firefox:<br>
<br>
1. fix consistency for Windows Firefox users<br>
2. break consistency for all GNU/Linux desktop users<br>
<br>
The hipotetical benefit of 1. is far overcome by the concrete disaster<br>
of 2., IMHO.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Once again, the problem in NOT copy on select, nor paste on middle button. It is "use primary buffer as a link to go to" on middle button click.<br><br>Not really that big of a deal, but there is much misunderstanding over what the original poster complained about.<br>
