Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Rather bizarrely, the following works:

Paste from terminal into epiphany (middle click paste)
Paste from epiphany into terminal (middle click paste)

What DOES NOT work, is middle-click pasting _from_ epiphany, _into_ the same epiphany window.

Presumably the mouse click is moving the cursor / deleting the clipboard SELECTION before it actually copies it -> FAIL.

This is fixed now, after selecting a string, I have middle-click pasted in the same epiphany window - both in the same tab, and in another tab too. Tried with epiphany 2.30.2 from lucid repos, with lucid.
