Bug#553369: xterm: does not properly unhighlight selection
Package: xterm
Version: 250-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
since a few weeks, the selection remains highlighted in xterm on several
occasions, even if I have subsequently marked another piece of text. I
have not yet been able to identify a clear pattern when this happens. If
the application redraws the screen, the faux highlight is removed.
This can be reproduced best by copying and pasting text in vim, using
Shift-LMB to select and Shift-MMB to paste, but not reliably.
Simon
