When I change vtys using Ctrl-Atl-F1 then back to xorg using
Ctrl-Alt-F9, I am noticing that whatever text was most recently
selected is pasted back on the return to the xorg vty.  This is
potentially dangerous as a command could be executed when it is
not expected.

System:
	FreeBSD-7.0β4
	xorg-7.3_1

Repeat by:
	start xorg
	open an xterm window
	use LEFT mouse button to select some text
	type Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to console vty
	type Ctrl-Alt-F9 to switch back to xorg
	observe that the previously selected text is now pasted

This happens on several systems here which have all recently been
upgraded to FreeBSD-7 and xorg-7.3.

Anyone else see this?  Any fix?
