Bug Description
Binary package hint: xterm
Start X, and under X an xterm running bash.
Select some text and paste it at the command prompt. It is not echoed. Type any keyboard character and the mouse-pasted text appears, followed by the typed character.
This is not a bash problem: typing to cat or ed shows the same results.
On the other hand, pasting works fine in firefox or in emacs, in programs not on an xterm.
Also on the console (not under X) all is fine.

On the other hand, it may not be an xterm bug. Is your problem using
the compiz-based window manager, or "classic"?
(I did install a 11.04 VM last week, but haven't gotten around to making
it usable yet ;-)
