Bug#555090: mc: cannot select the text in view F3, or paste with the middle mouse click in edition F4, under xterm

[yellowprotoss]

Package: mc
Version: 2:4.7.0-pre1-3
Severity: normal

mc -e is very cool for edition and coding

but one cannot do much with it, since it is not possibel to copy paste from another xterm with the middle mouse under X

Could you please fix it, in order to have something stable for the next release of debian stable.

Thanks a lot
Mc is cool.
I had few other ideas. Like bookmarks could be good too.

Greetings
Best regards, thanks , and success
Y.

The clipboard is currently being reworked and this should be fixed in
upstream in 4.7.0, the package will be updated accordingly.
