From time to time when I paste some text with the middle-mouse button into a xterm it is executed immediately. I find this very annoying. I couldnt determine whether there is a pattern or not. Is there a way to turn off this behaviour. :?:

To avoid this, I make sure not to copy the new line character, start selecting text from the end of the line, and don't select it by double or triple clicking the line.

OK, i'll try the same if that is the reason for it. Still if anyone knows how to turn it off completely I would be glad to hear it.
