With about 7 reboots and looking at the motherboard book I am certain the mouse and the keyboard are plugged in properly. But when I press both the left and right mouse buttons I always get not what I expect but a panel much like the Edit key shows when clicked. It is not always the same. But never is it what I am used to getting.

I put a lot of print on a terminal window and then select some of it. Then try to let it appear on another terminal window but all I get is the darn old panel. I'm now certain it is a system problem but I have no idea what.
Are you in the gui {gnome?} or vt1..4 ?

If you are talking gnome-terminal:
both click = middle click button3 = paste what is currently highlighted into the current edit position. {ie the command that is being entered at the bottom of the terminal}.

Sometimes it rather difficult to get the both click timing correct.

On a wheel mouse {mine} pushing the wheel down {into the mouse} also does the middle / button 3 click.

You could also ctrl-alt-c to copy and then ctrl-alt-v to paste the text.

   Hi Dave, tried your ideas and none worked :-(

The ctrl-Alt-c and v work exactly like the mouse which is a Logitec track-ball with two switches. I have fooled around with the mouse and keyboard. It appears the keyboard will work if plugged into EITHER ps2 ports, even though one is labeled mouse and the other keyboard. I just noticed the mouse has a USB plug which was in a USB-to-ps2 converter plug. So I took off the converter and plugged the mouse into a USB port and it works fine.

The ability to copy any words from one thing to another has been a great improvement over Windows for 10 years.
