4. Using the mouse, select any small piece of text several lines above the bottom of the term buffer (e.g. double- click a word). 5. Move the mouse to the shell prompt at the end of the buffer and middle click to paste that selected text as input. 6. Without moving the mouse, middle click again at the same position.
In fact "Without moving the mouse" is irrelevant in step 6. All that matters is where the mouse was when you middle-clicked in step 5. All middle clicks subsequent to step 5 have the same (bad) effect regardless of the mouse position, pasting the same unintended selection each time. I presume that having an *active* selection at step 5 makes the difference. More testing confirms that the initial middle click in step 5 updates the selection with the text between the start of the active selection and the position of the middle click.
