I have a similar experience, except that I used to be able to double
click with the left button to select, and paste at the text cursor
with the center button, or left button drag to select and paste at
the text cursor with the center button in programs like claws-mail
and gvim. That hasn't worked for some time. I assumed that it was
because of the decreased support for X because of wayland or that
the mouse driver was rewritten or there was a security issue. The
workarounds are clumsy. The technique still works in the virtual
consoles (F1-F6), so something in the gui handling of mouse clicks
has changed.
Are you using Wayland or X for the desktop? In Wayland, I just
tested drag and middle-click in gvim and it worked fine.
X, and with LXDE. I've been meaning to check if wayland now allows
custom keymappings. Maybe time to try gnome or kde again. In X, when
I use gvim it pastes the selected text at the mouse cursor. So, if I'm
editing something and want to grab some phrase from the text above, and
paste it at the text cursor where I am typing, it makes a mess by
pasting it where the mouse cursor is. Same in Claws mail.
That's the normal behaviour for graphical programs for as long as I can
remember. gvim might have been a special case, but I don't use it.
