Bug Description
Binary package hint: gedit
Use the middle mouse button to paste highlight-selected text does not move the cursor (and the viewed text) to the chosen insertion point. This is dangerous when the selected text and the insertion point are far apart because the user is left unsure if the paste succeeded until scrolling to the insertion point (which can be difficult to refind in a long document or in source code).
I am using the gedit in Ubuntu 9.04. I believe this to be a fairly recent regression as I seem to recall it working just a few months ago as I expect. I have tried deleting the gedit config directory and the behavior persists. I turn on most of the plugins available by default but that doesn't seem to be the cause.
