In the find / replace dialog is a selectionI am not talking about the find/replace here. What I am saying is that if I have a text snippet (a variable name for example) in the clipboard and want to replace a literal text with it my usual method is this:
* Selected Text
* Global
Did you choose the right one?
Raspberry is Linux and Linux has two different Clipboard buffers:
* The one you know from Windows: mark text, Ctrl-C or Ctrl-X and then Ctrl- V
* Mark text and then insert it with the middle mouse key
Don't mix the two ways of clipboard!

I am copying within Lazarus and I have found now that if I double-click a word inside Lazarus it gets selected and also copied into the clipboard that allows middle button pasting both inside Lazarus and in the terminal window.
But if I select a word in Lazarus without doubleclicking then it will not middle-button-paste.
The plot thickens...
If I select a word inside Lazarus I can paste it with the middle button, but if I use ctrl-V instead an older clipboard entry gets pasted.
Oh Boy!!!!
I need to create a matrix of all the combinations now and enter how paste works in all situations.
Very strange.
