Mouse middle button paste is not working

English Applications
1

Suddenly the mouse middle button paste feature does not work in Bluefish and OpenOffice. It is driving me crazy. I have become so used to this feature I am constantly forgetting to ctl c/v to cut and paste.

It works everywhere else. ( For example, I can use it in this text box that I am typing this message in. ) and when I select text in either Bluefish or OpenOffice it shows up in Klipper. Strangely, if I select that text in Klipper I can paste it into either application with the middle button.

This just started a few days ago. I have no idea what changed on my system. It is a KDE4 desktop, if that is relevant.

It is still not working.

When someone says “it suddenly stoped working” I suspect that

  1. You changed something before that happened
  2. there was some update which causes this

Is 1 or 2 the case and do you remember what you did or which updates
happened?

You can check the list of changes to the rpm database with
