Description
- OS version and name: Ubuntu 16.04
- Hyper.app version: 0.8.3 -> 1.0.0
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/perry-mitchell/e524335b722839b55ea6d09140648bc3
- Relevent information from devtools: NA
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is vanilla
Issue
In other terminals middle-clicking pastes selected content, wherever you click in the terminal. Hyper will paste only if the middle click does not occur on top of the selected text:
When middle-clicking on the text itself, nothing happens.
