Subject: libgtk2.0-0: Unable to select in text entry
Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.8.20-4
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
In all gtk applications, when I use the mouse to highlight text in a
text entry box, the selection will highlight momentarily, then
disappear. If I drag the mouse to the right across some text, the right
edge of the selection will move with the mouse cursor, but the left edge
will catch up almost immediately meaning as I go, only one to two
letters nearest the mouse are ever selected and the selection always
ends up empty, unless I move the mouse *very* fast. I'd guess I have
about half a second to get the text selected and release the mouse
button before I lose the selection. This makes it impossible to copy
text.
