Comment 1 for bug 386017

I don't know whether this is actually a duplicate, I think that having the middle button click paste previously highlighted text should be fixed for trackpads so that it only pastes when you click both mouse buttons, and not when you bump into the scroll bar. This would fix 'copy-paste' in ubuntu so that power users could still copy-paste without having to ctrl c, ctrl v but also keep people from accidentally pasting text while typing. I run into this accidental pasting every day. It seems like it's a feature which is pretty deeply rooted in linux, so I don't know whether it's possible to tweak it in this instance so it recognizes a distinction between middle mouse click (press both left and right buttons) and middle mouse click (touch scroll on trackpad). I am sure that other ubuntu users who use the track pad primarily also run into this issue. Thanks for your help.
