Linux pasted text is selected

[KeisukeIto]

This is not a new problem in RC2. It's been this way since beta versions of SE 2015 (but, of course, SE 2014 doesn't do this).

When you paste a text in Linux (doesn't happen in Windows), the pasted text is highlighted/selected. I need to de-select the text before I can do anything useful. For example, if I want to copy one line and paste it 10 times, I paste it once, deselect the pasted text (by moving the cursor for instance), and repeat these steps 9 more times. I used to be able to just paste it 10 times and done.

I'm using the Brief emulation mode, which I'm not sure matters. Could you please fix this behavior?

This default has not been changed.

Set the macro variable "def_deselect_paste" to 1 (Macro>Set Macro Variable).

Not sure how you got into this state though. If you try a default config and switch into brief emulation ("vs -sc /tmp/newconfig"), you will find that paste does not leave the pasted text selected.

Thanks Clark. It did the trick. 

I'm not sure either how I got into this state. SE 2014 was working just fine. I installed a beta version of SE 2015 and saw this behavior change (only in Linux version, and not in Windows version)...

As a side note, if you want to paste something 10 times, you can use the repeat-key function. I have it mapped to Ctrl F10, next to the default macro record and execute keys.

So, to paste something 10 times:
Hit Ctrl F10 (repeat-key), 1, 0, then Ctrl V (paste).
