Re: [Bug 1852183] Re: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) with LibreOffice is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93)

2020-05-27 Thread ethanay 
I wonder if there are residual components of the problem that go away when
you upgrade against or do a fresh install? I never tested 3.36.2 against my
original 19.10 install, I just went to 20.04 when the fix was released.

So, for example, maybe if I had installed 3.36.2 while running my original
19.10 install and config, I would be seeing problems still. Just a thought!

2020-05-20 Thread ethanay 
Tim, I don't know, I am just "another user"

But I appreciate you testing! For me, the pattern has always been quite
consistent for the first cut/copy to fail, and so is fairly easy for me to
test.

The different symptoms are curious, with it being very predictable for some
and random for others!

It is also interesting to me that the problem appears only in copying to
clipboard from some programs but not others.

Lastly, it is interesting that it was fixed first in some programs (eg for
me, LO calc) before others (LO Writer).

I don't know enough about how different sources for clipboard data interact
with the clipboard manager, but it leads me to believe there is actually
more than one clipboard bug. If so, it will take users being vigilant to
collect log and other debug info as they try to reproduce the more
intermittent symptoms, and submit in a different report.

For the moment, the only way to avoid this ennoying problem is the use of
Ubuntu with Wayland session, which has other bugs, but not this one...

2020-05-20 Thread ethanay 
I am running $ uname -a
Linux pop-os 5.4.0-7626-generic #30~1588169883~20.04~bbe668a-Ubuntu SMP 
Wed Apr 29 21:00:02 UTC  x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ apt show mutter
Package: mutter
Version: 3.36.1-3ubuntu3

This is the default install configuration for Pop!_OS.  Under this 
configuration, the bug is no longer reproduceable in LibreOffice Calc, 
but is consistently present in LibreOffice Writer.

I am installing --proposed updates and will reboot and retest.
