Title:
  Left-click clears PRIMARY buffer selection (Copy-paste with middle-
  button/mouse wheel fails)

Status in GTK+:
  Confirmed
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in gtk+2.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Left-click clears the visible selection *and* PRIMARY buffer contents,
  rather than just clearing the visible selection.  This means that a
  user middle-click pasting finds the text has been dropped and that
  they can't paste what they expected to paste without going back and
  reselecting in the previous application again.

  1) Select some text.
  2) Click somewhere on the document.
  3) Click mouse wheel.

  Using the PRIMARY mechanism, text should be pasted like it works
  elsewhere in X. However, nothing is pasted in gedit.

  Using the CLIPBOARD mechanism, Ctrl-C, ctrl-V copy-pasting seems to
  work within gedit, so this is unrelated.
