Bug Description

I often do file managment with both nautilus and my terminal open. Sometimes I just select text in the `ls` output of my terminal, switch to nautilus, press F2 to rename a file, and press middle click to paste the selection. Ctrl-v works for the clipboard, but i really prefer using the X11 selection for such things (and copying to the clipboard isn't possible in many terminals anyway).

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

Average users rarely user terminals.This isnt an issue affecting an average user, Hence not a papercut.

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
