gnote -- Am I the only one ?

[William Case]

Hi;

gnote does not copy and paste within gnote the same way as every other
Linux program.  I use gnote a lot.  I can't select a phrase or whatever
move the cursor to the spot were I want to paste a copy of the phrase
and click the middle mouse button to paste in a copy of the selected
phrase.  gnote won't do it.  I have been using Fedora and Linux for over
7 years; it is now an intuitive or ingrained habit; a signature of
Linux.

I can and do use the Linux mouse copy and paste for copying items and
phrases from outside gnote into gnote.  Why will it not work with text
within gnote?

I filed a bug, got told that the way to do it in gnote was to click
where I wanted a phrase pasted, move to the phrase I wanted to copy,
select the phrase and then click the mouse middle button.  It is not the
way traditional Linux mouse copy and paste works.  Half the time it
doesn't work.  I have had a couple of gnote crashes.

The response I got from the gnote maintainer was can't replicate, bug
complaint removed.  I have nothing special, or old, in my Fedora 14
setup or in my hardware.  In any case, the position, then select, then
middle button is not the Linux standard.

Am I the only one with this annoyance? I write a lot of stuff in a day
-- gnote is a great aid and tool except for this.  I wish somebody would
fix it.
