On Linux the middle-click paste in the terminal was unreliable when the click occurred over a word because xterm.js intercepts the mouse event to select the word before the browser can perform the primary-selection paste. Instead of relying on Chromium's primary-selection paste, this change explicitly pastes the primary selection clipboard when middleClickBehavior is 'default' on Linux, matching the behavior users expect and making the paste reliable regardless of cursor position.
