Description josue.bock 2025-11-25 10:43:44 UTC
Hello,
When creating a cell comment, using a middle-click to paste some text (Linux OS) insert the text in the cell beneath the mouse pointer instead of the comment textbox.

Hello josue.bock@laposte.net, thank you for reporting this bug. I was not able to reproduce this using a Windows laptop, or a Mac laptop. I also tried this with an external mouse with middle click and could not reproduce this.

Hello,
The copy-paste using middle-click is a Linux-specific behaviour (for Mac I don't know, but for sure on Windows it does not exist).
So no surprise you cannot reproduce the bug on a Windows machine.
As I wrote in my first message, the bug happens on a Linux platform.
Cheers

In older versions, middle-clicking while editing a comment did not do anything. The current behaviour of pasting into a cell under the mouse cursor started with 805abacd0d1fe2d5522a2041fc3c07961a62ba5f in 24.2
