I think this happened when I updated from Leapt 15.4 to 15.5. I used to be able to click and hold the left button to copy text and press middle button (scroll wheel) to paste.  This is on XFCE. I find plenty of pages telling how to disable this and the middle button emulation on 2 button mice but not how to enable on a 3 button mouse.

Oookay... So is the problem that the select-buffer / middle-mouse paste stopped working and you want it back? On most all Linux desktops you have two separate buffers, 1) the select-buffer you describe that automatically holds the most recent selected text and then can be pasted with the middle-mouse (note: some Gtk apps actually require the text to be hightlighted in order to paste...) and 2) the copy-buffer that holds the normal copied (ctrl + c) text and pastes with the normal (ctrl + v). (shortcut keys can be reassigned to whatever you need) You say you find pages telling you how to disable the select-buffer behavior, but not how to enable it on 3-button mouse. So to clarify, you lost the select-buffer ability in the 15.4 -> 15.5 update and want to enable it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
