Not sure whether this is the same issue. Since I moved to Ubuntu 17.10 I cannot copy and paste from gedit anymore. If I open gedit, write something, and then try to paste it in Firefox it does not work. When I try to paste, I get the following line in the stderr of gedit:
(gedit:#####): Gdk-WARNING **: Error writing selection data: Error writing to file descriptor: Broken pipe Copying and paste from and among other applications works just fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mono in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725081 Title: Clipboard support broken in Ubuntu 17.10 Status in mono package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Mono apps can no longer modify system clipboard.
