            Bug ID: 288007
           Summary: middle click, once in a blue moon, spits out something
                    i highlighted hours to days ago
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: milios@ccsys.com

i feel pretty sure i've highlighted dozens to hundreds of things in the
meantime. what sort of data is lurking where, and why, and what could extract
it? i don't even know where to begin looking or even how to effectively report
this

when it happens i feel like i've seen a ghost; i cannot reproduce it for the
life of me. i second guess myself. i'm not sure i didnt simultaneously bump a
key or nudge the wheel. i push it down and try to forget. no more. it's
happened two or three times this week and one of you must know why this happens

i'm on 13.5-RELEASE/amd64. altogether this has happened maybe a dozen times in
the last year. i'm using KDE Plama 6, xorg/X11. i feel like this started
*around* the time i started using KDE6 but i cant say for sure it never
happened with KDE5. my mouse attaches to the hms driver. the inserted string is
always from within $uptime but i swear the data is so bloody ancient sometimes
it scares me

what else is relevant information? please help! please tell me i'm doing
something stupid and this is a feature not a bug, and how it works. or tell me
my alarm is warranted and i will share any information and try anything to
track down this ghost in the machine

i will spend a year forgoing the desktop and see if it'll happen under vt
w/sysmouse if that'd be helpful to someone with the knowledge and talent to
root out the problem

please CC/assign the appropriate fellows. i'm so lost
