From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why is it, that some applications (namely Firefox and VSCode) seems to place the current selection into the buffer that is accessed with the middle Mouse Button and not the one accessed by Shift+ins, used anywhere else.

It seems usually selecting places the content into both buffers, but just not in platform ignorant builds…

This often breaks my work flow. Any idea on how to fix this?
