Maintaining selection when switching windows
I like to use "Paste Selection" in Terminal. The workflow is:
1. highlight some text in one Terminal window
2. click on another Terminal window
3. trigger "Paste Selection"
My problem, and I think it has only started since upgrading to 10.8 (certainly this used to work at some point) is that the selection that is highlighted changes when I click on another Terminal window. I don't think I can be accidently clicking in the original window as otherwise the new window wouldn't become active.
It doesn't always happen - may 50% of the time. The new selection usually inlcudes part of the originally highlighted text and tends to go for 10s of lines.
Unfortunately it makes "Paste Selection" to unreliable for safe usage (becuase I don't always remember ot check if the highlight has changed in the other window before pasting).
Anyone know why this happens or what can be done about it?
Thanks,
Andrew
