3) What is expected to happen is that when one slides their finger in an
upward motion on the right hand side of the laptop touchpad, it does not
spontaneously paste.

4) What happened instead in gedit, Firefox, and OpenOffice Calc is while
scrolling upwards with the touchpad, it pastes without my fingers being
on the keyboard at all, nor have I set any hotkey or special mouse
control to do so. It just happened in this box while typing out this
bug. It happens intermittently but often enough to be highly annoying
and buggable.
