Yes, the clipboard issue is due to the isolation between application windows for security reasons. It should also stop keyloggers having a go at my typing. Annoying nonetheless, I hadn't realised how much I use the middle- click clipboard feature! Selecting text with the mouse, then using right- click Copy (or Ctrl+c) and right-click Paste (Ctrl+v) works, as a long winded alternative. I wonder if the message preview pane problem in Kmail is also caused by the same wayland window isolation? Hmm ...
