Always makes me chuckle, even if it's incredibly frustrating that Ctrl+A doesn't work in so many places (i.e: it was originally "7", and I tried Ctrl+A, then typed "10")
@attie On the other hand I'm super frustrated with those text fields that select the whole text in them as soon as you click on them. It's practically impossible to paste anything into them, because as soon as the selection is made, it replaces whatever was in the clipboard. Whoever thought it was a good idea never used Linux.
@deshipu I must admit, I've not used a Linux desktop environment for a long time (even though I'd consider Linux systems to be my comfortable place)... but I thought there were two "clipboards" - one for select + middle-click, and a separate one for Ctrl-C/Shift-Del and Ctrl-V/Shift-Ins ... am I misinformed? I'd have presumed that the "select all" action didn't affect either, but if it did, then only the former?
