multiline paste to other tab followed by Ctrl select

[marilmanen]

This is an issue which I have seen very rarely in the past (possible also with old nedit), but now I can reproduce it.

1. start nedit-ng with two tabs
2. type couple lines to first tab
3. select multiple lines with mouse left button
4. paste selection to the other tab with mouse middle button
5. press Ctrl and keep it down
6. select text with mouse left button

Text selection is not possible as the selection in the first tab remains active.

When testing with two separate nedit-ng sessions I get terminal messages
Warning: QXcbClipboard::setMimeData: Cannot set X11 selection owner

With commit 0fed48f I'm not able to reproduce the issue, but I get messages
Warning: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 2701, resource id: 16351026, major code: 40 (TranslateCoords), minor code: 0

No issues with commit 450ad17-dirty (it was built with Qt: 5.9.7 )

I'm using AlmaLinux release 8.9, QT 5.15.3 and NoMachine.

I wonder if you can reproduce the issue?

I'll look into it, sounds like an interesting issue!
