[texworks] Select/Paste not working

[Jonathan Kew]

This may be related to how TeXworks overrides some mouse-click  
behaviors (primarily because the default selection behavior in Qt's  
text edit isn't suitable for TeX editing).

Could someone give a clear description of exactly what you expect to  
happen on a middle-click? Is it supposed to copy any already-selected  
text to the clipboard? Paste data from the clipboard at the click  
position? Some other function? Does it vary depending on modifier  
keys, or on whether the click is within selected text or not? Right  
now I'm not sure what behavior is expected, only that there's  
something to do with select/copy/paste....
