Since bug 1852183 is released this is fixed for many but not all cases. More people chime in to be affected and there seems to be a spike of KDE users in that (which makes sense as they won't see a mutter change have any effect for them I guess).
We already had a PPA [1] to try with something that fits the SRU policy [2] better but most likely won't help (yet would be great if it does). Furthermore I now created a PPA with the bigger fix [3] backported to focal. That might be a harder ride through the SRU policy, but if that is the only thing fixing it we might need to consider it (we can then still break out the patches of 0.20 as needed). I'd ask affected people to test both not just shortly but for quite a while as we all know these kind of issues are sometimes flaky and transient. Then please here give me feedback on how these PPAs would behave.

I installed Kubuntu 20.04 and virt-manager as I did many times on Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunatelly when I run a VM (QEMU-KVM, libvirt, libspice-server1 and spice-vdagent) with another Kubuntu 20.04 guest or with Ubuntu 20.04 guest then clipboard doesn't work right. To test it, please install Kubuntu 20.04 and then install Kubuntu / Ubuntu 20.04 as VM (guest). Open some simple text editor and start Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V plain text. 90% of time it will work and 10% of time it won't.
