Description:
When editing a multi-page document, using the X clipboard to copy text between pages causes an unwanted display jump from the page where the text was pasted back to the page from which it was copied.  This is inconvenient for its own sake (since the user typically wants to continue editing where he just pasted the text).  The problem is compounded by the fact that the original text remains selected, so that if the user then starts typing the original text is deleted.

This behavior is inconsistent with the that of most (all?) other programs that support the X clipboard.  It's also inconsistent with the behavior of Writer itself when the copy-and-paste is done via the ctrl+C, ctrl+V keystroke sequences.

The current behavior is this:

* Middle-click pastes the selected text at the mouse pointer position

* The display jumps back to display the page with the previously-selected text

* The previously-selected text remains selected

Typically, the user must then manually de-select the text at its original position and then manually return to the page where he pasted it in order to continue editing there.

To improve this, it would be useful to change the middle-click behavior to be consistent with other programs that support the X clipboard:

* Middle-click pastes the selected text at the mouse pointer position (as it does currently)

* The display does not jump when the text is pasted

* The selected text that was copied is de-selected

* The text cursor moves to a position just after the pasted text

With these changes, it should be possible for the user to select text on one page of a document, scroll to another page, middle-click to paste the selected text, and continue typing without any additional steps.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a multi-page document in Writer
2.Select some text on the first page
3.Scroll down a few pages and middle-click to paste the selected text

Actual Results:
Writer jumps back to the the first page of the document.  The selected text is still selected.

Expected Results:
Writer does not jump the display (it remains where it was when the user middle-clicked).  The text cursor is positioned immediately after the pasted text.  The previously-selected text is de-selected.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This was found and tested on various Linux distros running various versions of LibreOffice (it's a pretty old bug).  It presumably happens on all Writer versions running on X.  The obvious workaround is to use the ctrl+C, ctrl+V clipboard and just accept the efficiency hit.
