Unable to use Hilight/Middle Click to Copy/Paste

[Michael Lustfield]

Binary package hint: midori

When I try to hilight to copy text the text is not copied. Standard Linux tools allow you to hilight to copy and middle click to paste as a sort of second copy/paste mechanism. This is far from a second option for me, it's a vital part of every one of my applications. I like what I'm seeing with midori, but I absolutely need this functionality.

Confirming this bug

I played with it more. Middle click to paste into midori works fine. It seems to be just hilight to copy that doesn't work.

Same behavior on epiphany-webkit and GtkLauncher.
It's not a midori bug, reassigned to Webkit.
