Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please

Title:
  gedit random paste highlighted text while scrolling

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  my system:
  Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS x64 (updated)
  Release:	14.04

  apt-cache policy gedit
  gedit:
    Installed: 3.10.4-0ubuntu4
    Candidate: 3.10.4-0ubuntu4
    Version table:
   *** 3.10.4-0ubuntu4 0
          500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  reproducing bug:
  0) open a ~400 lines text file
  1) highlight some text (e.g. a single line in the middle)
  2) scroll till the bottom of the document (using the mouse wheel)
  3) scroll till the top
  4) Type Ctrl+C then Ctrl+F and finally Ctrl+V (or manually search for the same text in the document)

  you will notice that the highlighted text will be copy-pasted randomly
  in your document.

  if you can't reproduce the bug this way, try opening a 400 lines .py
  (python) text file (UTF-8 encoded) with python code inside it.

  EDIT:
  Bug confirmed with normal text files also (see comment #4)
