Interesting you should bring that up so I played around with middle click, right click and Ctrl+V
Although it can produce different paste results, it's not the issue I am having I don't think. The issue is that it's taking more than one copy function to actually copy to the clipboard to have something new to paste from some applications. Whichever clipboard that is. For example I can copy from Firefox and paste to a text editor. I can go copy text from Master PDF Editor by Ctrl+C twice. Ctrl+V or right click pastes the text from Master PDF Editor. Middle mouse click pastes text from Firefox still. I can copy new text in Master PDF Editor by Ctrl+C twice and paste the new text. Middle click continues to paste the text from Firefox until I copy some new text in firefox. The middle click one seems to work just fine to paste from firefox. One copy one paste. It may work OK in other applications too I don't know. But it apparently doesn't work at all in some others like Master PDF Editor, while two Ctrl+C's does work in these other applications. I'm dumb about this. I guess the X11 one works fine if it works at all in the application you are copying from? And the other one does not work reliably without doing Ctrl+C twice in some applications you are copying from. I don't know. But it is certainly going to be April in a few minutes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in Mutter: Fix Released Status in codelite package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in codelite source package in Eoan: Confirmed Status in libreoffice source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in codelite source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in libreoffice source package in Focal: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Focal: Fix Released Bug description: I'm running LibreOffice 6.3.2.2 on Ubuntu 19.10. In this environment, copy/cut/paste often fails. Specifically, the paste command sometimes does not paste the text that was cut/copied most recently. Instead, it pastes text that was cut/copied at some prior time. I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, and I now see this problem very often, i.e. many times every day. There is some discussion of the problem here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/213510/copypaste-issues- libreoffice-calc/ Several posters there say that they are also using Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 19.10 includes Mutter 3.34, which has a new clipboard manager: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.34 -Clipboard-Manager It seems like that could be related.
