Right-click -> "Preferences" ->  "General" -> "Clipboard" -> 
"Automatically copy selection to clipboard" is a checkbox.  Whether 
checked or unchecked, the behavior is the same when I paste an entire 
line into a terminal.


I have previously seen this behavior with Debian 9 and 10 terminals that 
have SSH connections to FreeBSD 12.2.
