Is this one of the costs of 'the year of the linux desktop' - mac and windows users migrating to linux and getting confused by 'selecting text puts it in the clipboard without confirmation' and 'middle click pastes the clipboard contents'?
fwiw I find the workflow advantages of it questionable, since I often want to select some text and ctrl+v to replace it with the clipboard.

I have a line in my config to ensure it always works. In over 20 years of using Linux, I don't think I've encountered an app where middle click to paste doesn't work.
