    In xterm middle click works for me, as does Shift+Insert. There possibly are other methods, but those are the ones I just tested.

  2. Give a try to ctrl+Shift+V for pasting text (which are copied from external sources) into gnome-terminal.

  3. Also you can try to run Nano with multibuffer option

    nano -E

    then use both Ctrl+Shift+V or Ctrl+U
