   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • Copy and Paste behaviour under Linux #4754: Copy and Paste behaviour under Linux (directly mentions middle-click paste and mouse event issues)

   Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

   Related to #4754 but this is about middle-click paste, not wrong buffer or select to copy.

   Related to #3684 but this is about Xorg not Wayland.

   I do like opencode so far, thanks!

   Just wanted to second what the OP reported and add another data point (using X.Org and alacritty, opencode 1.1.53):

   • middle-mouse paste (from Primary selection) doesn't work, Shift+middle-mouse works
   • Ctrl+Shift+V (paste from Clipboard) works
   • mouse-highlight copies to Clipboard rather than Primary (also mentioned in Copy and Paste behaviour under Linux #4754's "Second issue")

   I'm hitting this same bug. Thanks for the shift+middle-mouse temporary workaround until it's fixed.
