Title:
Copy from Firefox Wayland fails to be pasted anywhere else
Status in GTK+:
Unknown
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gtk+3.0 source package in Impish:
Fix Released
Bug description:
* Impact
The clipboard copies from GTK based software sometime stop working
under wayland
* Test Case
- in a wayland session try to copy text between software, from firefox
to gedit for example, it should work in a consistent manner
alternative testcase inspired from the gitlab ticket
- install wl-clipboard
- use evince to open a pdf
- select and copy some content
- on a cmdline do
$ wl-paste -t TEXT
- try to paste then in another software, gedit for example
the copied text should be pasted
* Regression potential
The changes are in the wayland selection source so the impact should
only be for wayland users and limited to clipboard interactions
------------------
Running Firefox 84.0.2 for Ubuntu Canonical-1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, on
Wayland native
Version 84.0.2
Build ID 20210105180113
Window Protocol wayland
Desktop Environment gnome
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:
If I copy text from a web page and try to paste it into another
Firefox page, the text is pasted correctly.
If I copy text from a web page and try to paste it in [gedit,
libreoffice, thunderbird, terminal, slack (electron)] nothing happens.
The Gnome Clipboard extension stays empty when content is copied from
Firefox Wayland.
Pasting *from* another app *to* Firefox works fine.
