When pasting some text into mc running in Konsole by pressing a middle mouse button, not only the text I want to paste but also something more is added to the end of it. For example, when I want to paste "Hello", actually "Hello#b=" is pasted. The additional string seems to be random, but always contains three characters, the first one is "#". Everywhere else the pasting by middle mouse button works fine, also in Konsole itself. Version of my mc is 4.7.0_pre3 (marked stable in Gentoo), USE="X edit gpm nls -samba -slang". The problem occurs in all, mc command line bellow panels, any input field in mc, and mc's built-in editor. When pasting text by Konsole's paste action (shortcut key CTRL+Shift+V), no problem occurs. I am using kde-base/konsole-4.3.1-r1. There is no such problem when mc runs in xterm.

Could you please test if this bug is still valid with the just released 4.7.0 final? thanks :)
Yes, it is still a bug also in app-misc/mc-4.7.0.1 and kde-base/konsole-4.3.3 . Sorry for a slow response.
Then try 4.7.0.2 (but I assume it won't change anything) and report it to upstream ticketing system: http://www.midnight-commander.org/
Ladies, this looks more like bug in konsole...
@Jiri: Does bug still render for you? What TERM do you have in konsole? (echo $TERM) In my case plain middle-button pressing in console does not paste the text in kde/x11 buffer at all and Shift-Mouse2 pastes text without garbage in mcedit. (mc-4.7.3, konsole-4.4.4, no KDE env)
(In reply to comment #6) > In my case plain middle-button pressing in console does not paste the text in > kde/x11 buffer at all and Shift-Mouse2 pastes text without garbage in mcedit. The same here. Middle mouse alone never worked for me. Shift-mouse2 works (always worked from day1) as expected (the same stable versions). @Jiri please provide more information how to reproduce the issue.

Sorry. And the garbage is still there. Current versions: app-misc/mc-4.7.0.3 kde-base/konsole-4.4.5
mc-4.7.5 is in tree now, please check if this is still an issue. if it still fails you'll have to submit a bug report to midnight-commander.org or KDE to let them know, otherwise it probably won't be fixed anytime soon :) post the URL(s) here when/if you do. thanks.
*** Bug 353417 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Any news with kde-4.6?
Yes, problem still there.
(In reply to comment #12) > Yes, problem still there. How about 4.7?
(In reply to comment #13) > How about 4.7? Bug still there with mc-4.8.0 and KDE 4.7.2.
Please report upstream and link the bug report here.
installing with use USE="-ncurses slang" seems to fix the problem (although there is a separate problem of not showing the text till the cursor moves)
How about 4.8?
If no one's actually actively trying to fix this bug, then just close it. Asking about it on every release doesn't help anything and serves no purpose.
(In reply to comment #18) > If no one's actually actively trying to fix this bug, then just close it. > Asking about it on every release doesn't help anything and serves no purpose. It's not that simple to fix when it's not reproducible on dev's machine. Upstream touches mouse and tty code all the time. slang was updated in tree recently. So there is a reason ping suffering users. BTW, what you are using: USE=ncurses or slang? Do both render problem for you?

Other distros also ship mc built with slang. AFAIK, Gentoo is the only one that uses ncurses by default. There's also another bug with ncurses. Deleting text (with DEL, not BACKSPACE) deletes the background. It also only happens in Konsole but not in xterm. emerge -pv mc: [ebuild R ] app-misc/mc-4.8.1-r2 USE="X edit gpm ncurses xdg -mclib -nls -samba -slang -test" 0 kB
Please report upstream and link here back.
(In reply to comment #21) > Please report upstream and link here back. Who is upstream? mc or konsole?
I would say mc, because middle mouse works for me with other apps in konsole.

Or was it to describe problem with DEL key? I've switched to USE=slang by default in mc-4.8.2.
@mc maintainer: The two apps aren't realy connected, so i ask myself and you: How about adding a info/warn message to mc for USE=ncurses to solve the issue?

>=app-misc/mc-4.8.3 drops the ncurses USE flag, using ncurses only when slang is disabled (enabled by default). How about stabilising a newer version then?
