Comment 17 for bug 493338

Well I've been experiencing this for a few weeks after I updated the gtk 3 version (sorry I'm not sure of the date I clone the bzr repo). It doesn't do it all the time, but once it's started to do it, the only fix is to close terminator and reopen it.

On 2017-10-07 I did another bzr clone and installed it. There was also an update to vte3 (0.50.0) around
2017-09-28.

The problem seems to persist, not only in vim but also trying to paste into weechat too. If I paste into a terminal with no app running, it pastes the text highlighted, which is strange.

Is the vte widget using the vte binary, or is it a separate thing? I ask because I did a 'ps ux | grep vte' and it came back blank.
