Follow-up Comment #6, bug #39785 (project octave):

Thanks for checking again. Now that I think about it, I do seem to remember
that Matlab will actually put a cursor in the console area if you click
instead of select, as if it were a text area widget, as if you could actually
type there. Once you start typing the cursor jumps back to the prompt line. Is
that still the case?

You're right about GUIs on Linux, too, I was thinking about terminals (xterm,
gnome-terminal, etc) where you can select with the mouse, the cursor remains
at the prompt, and you can still input text while keeping previous text
selected.

So the right behavior for both platforms should be to clear the selection on
any input, whether it's a paste or keyboard input?
