If you find your edition of Linux doesn't support the Windows ctrl+x/c/v convention, try those instead. ctrl/shift+Insert also works separately from the highlight/click method, so if you want to highlight and replace text, you can use that method too.

What you should see is the selected text is pasted ___where you clicked with button 3___." This may seem trivial, but I have a problem with this. How can I paste the selected text on the destination window where the previous cursor was, instead of where the mouse actually points? Reason: With the current way, I must be very careful to point to the place where the text will appear. If it worked as I describe, I would only have to click anywhere in the receiving window, and know that the text will always appear in the place where the cursor is.

Thanks Thank you that’s interesting but I have the following problem:

When I want to replace a text (eg: address in browser) usually I do the following:

1select a text,
2 press Ctrl+C
3 select text to be replaced

How could I avoid that?

Oh I see, Linux can't do that. So how do you replace a selection of text with another selection of text?

In KDE the user can copy with the mouse and paste with the keyboard shortcuts. That is probably a Gnome bug. Did you search to see if there is a bug report open?
