When I change vtys using Ctrl-Atl-F1 then back to xorg using
Ctrl-Alt-F9, I am noticing that whatever text was most recently
selected is pasted back on the return to the xorg vty. This is
potentially dangerous as a command could be executed when it is
not expected.
System:
FreeBSD-7.0β4
xorg-7.3_1
Repeat by:
start xorg
open an xterm window
use LEFT mouse button to select some text
type Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to console vty
type Ctrl-Alt-F9 to switch back to xorg
observe that the previously selected text is now pasted
This happens on several systems here which have all recently been
upgraded to FreeBSD-7 and xorg-7.3.
Anyone else see this? Any fix?
