[issue5124] IDLE - pasting text doesn't delete selection

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I just got a complaint from a Linux user who says IDLE is the only application she uses on Linux that has this augment rather than replace behavior.  She also uses IDLE on Windows, so this unique IDLE-Linux behavior is quite annoying.  Replace at least needs to be an option.

Serhiy (or other current Linux user), what do you know about typical behavior on Linux today?
