RHBA-2011:0317 - vte bug fix update
Synopsis
vte bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated vte package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
VTE is a terminal emulator widget for use with GTK+ 2.0.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Due to an error in VTE, using the Shift+left-click combination to select a text in a VTE-based application (for example, GNOME Terminal) could fail to copy this selection into the cut buffer. With this update, an upstream patch has been applied to address this issue, and such selection is now copied to the cut buffer as expected. (BZ#650884)
All users of vte are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
