yes, the expected behavour:<br>
<br>
1) i select (highlight some text) in texworks window<br>
2) move mouse to another location<br>
3) press middle mouse button and the text that was highlighted is pasted to the mouse location<br>
<br>
basically it is copying the highlighted text and pasting it with middle mouse button<br>
<br>this is working from any program to texworks, but NOT working from texworks to any other program, or even inside texworks itself... which is the most annoying!<br><br>
this is a very common copy/paste way in unix/linux systems. if you have a live-cd available, try it out... any linux text editor or terminal can do it under X<br><br>and i have tried it under qt4 (kubuntu 9.10 alpha)<br>

</div>Highlight text within texworks, then middle click in any other X11 app<br>
should paste. It seems it does not in TeX works.<br>
<br>
Works the other way fine (select text in other X11 app, middle click<br>
paste into TeX works).<br>
