1) emacs -Q -nw <file> (reproduces even without -nw)
2) C-s
3) Have some text selected and click the middle mouse button.

The selected text is pasted into the buffer, not the minibuffer. Here is
what I see in lossage:

C-s [isearch-forward]
ESC [ 2 0 0 ~ [xterm-paste]
r s y n c ESC [ 2 0 1 ~ C-h l [view-lossage]

This is a regression from Emacs 24.5.

Please show lossage in a GUI session, as mouse handling is very

I cannot reproduce this here in a GUI session: as long as I have the
mouse pointer in the minibuffer when I press mouse-2, the selected
text is pasted into the minibuffer, and Emacs does search for the text
I pasted.

I was probably too quick with testing. It works in a GUI session,
sorry about the noise. But still doesn't work with -nw, but used to in 24.5.

Does your xterm support the "bracketed paste mode"?  Does Emacs enable
it automatically at startup?

Probably? I also tested both 24.5 and 25.0.93 in a gnome-terminal
window on Fedora 23. The stable version works, the pretest doesn't.

What do you see in lossage in the version that does work?

Emacs 24.5.1 (works):

C-s j s y n a c e k RET C-h l

The RET is pressed by me, not inserted when pasting.


Emacs 25.0.93.1 (doesn't work):

C-s [isearch-forward]
ESC [ 2 0 0 ~ [xterm-paste]
j s y n a c e k ESC [ 2 0 1 ~ C-h l [view-lossage]

This seems to have been caused due to this commit:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-25&id=0a21b26c58a241ac41cd12cd10cd605238bb2640

In previous Emacsen, middle-button would be handled by the terminal
emulator which would end up sending the selection as if you had typed
those chars (so they'd sometimes be interpreted as key-combos).

Now we use a special mode in the terminal emulator which means the
terminal emulator actually tells us that it's a "paste" operation.

So the problem is that isearch currently doesn't have a binding for
xterm-paste.  We should add one, just like we added one to global-map.

Thanks, I did that by installing the attached patch into the emacs-25 branch.
