Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

I'm running ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) on i686 hardware, with
gnome-terminal version 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 for i386.

The menu item to 'copy' text in the Edit menu does not
appear to function (and the 'paste' menu item stays disabled).
 If I select text in a gnome terminal and use the middle mouse button to paste it, nothing happens as well.  I can, however,
copy text from other applications (e.g., emacs, gedit, xterm)
and that words as expected.

I also used xev to print xevents to check the mouse and it
reported "button 2" when I pushed the middle mouse button
(a logitech mouse with a wheel, actually).

I just downloaded the latest updates yesterday.  I checked
the 'keyboard-shortcuts' to make sure that nothing was
accidentally disabled (it seems to be OK).
