As some of you have noticed, the status for "Mutter" at the top of this page changed to "Fix Released". That's because a change was just committed to the Mutter GNOME project that apparently fixes the underlying bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/2f1f47d25708cf444e4d35045486fa2841ce0d69 This change is not present in Mutter 3.36.3 or in any other release of Mutter. It should be included in the next Mutter release (presumably 3.36.4). So it is not yet available in Ubuntu, which is why the status for "Mutter (Ubuntu)" at the top of the page is still "Confirmed".

It's not always easy to check that the pasted text it's the correct one, then this is a data corruption bug. That is why I think this is a critical bug. Worse, the most affected users of this bug (non-technical ones) are very unlikely to ever report it.

[Bug 1879968] Re: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2
Marcello. I switched to Wayland. For a while now I have noticed Libreoffice, wine applications, and some others being irritatingly slow, and wondered why. It's Wayland! Switching back to the normal ubuntu desktop has bought speed back, but brought the bug back with it. I can't help wondering if all software has got too complicated these days. One might think something as basic as this was simple to find and fix. Clearly not. I guess I'll just have to take the performance hit and hope that the almost defunct Wayland has no other major issues. I use copy and paste a lot in spreadsheets as well as in documents. In spreadsheets this has created several errors which took me a long time to find and resolve. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How can I help to fix this bug? I can easely reproduce it easely on three differnt computers (one new install, and two upgraded from 19.10). The only workaround that I have found is to install xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop. I cannot use "Ubuntu Wayland" because libreoffice becomes sluggish (I can't reproduce it reliably, it seems completely random) and because it has limited remote desktop functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1879968] Re: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2
I am on Ubuntu FF 20.04 using office 2010 via wine-stable 5.0, my system is fully updated. The issue still persists when I am copying and pasting any text within word 2010, with an interesting twist. Copying and pasting works most of the times, but when I copy a portion of text within Word 2010 using ctrl+C then delete it and try paste it, it always fails. As if by deleting the text I just copied from the page I would also delete its copy in the clipboard. When I am in Unity (yeah, I still love and use Unity, even on 20.04) everything works as intended: you copy a portion of the text and can always paste it, no matter what you do to the original text. Hope this helps, this bug is so very annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1879968] Re: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2
I wanted to let you know that I am experiencing very similar behaviour on Kubuntu 20.04 after updating from 18.04 to 20.04, and I have my doubts that it's related to Mutter. For now I can confirm that I have an issue on KDE Plasma - to be able to paste (middle mouse click, Ctrl+C/V or Copy/Paste context menu options), I have to copy the same text twice, in one of the ways described below: 1. select text (ie. double click it), then click anywhere to lose focus from it, then select exactly the same text again - then I am able to paste with middle mouse button; or: 2. when text is already selected, I need to hit Ctrl+C twice, then I can paste it with Ctrl+V. Above is suspiciously close to what Davide mentioned above in comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1879968/comments/3 and that's why I decided my problem is probably related. My suspicion - this may be related to some application I use. On KDE this issue manifests almost right away after logging in now, but there's a short period after logging in, when it doesn't happen yet. Maybe I've got something in autostart that triggers it. On other environments (Openbox, LXQT and Gnome Shell) I did not experience this problem, however I did test only for a minute. My plan for next few days is to switch to LXQT and wait for the problem to happen again, and let you know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Daniel, sorry, but as far as I am concerned this is an ubuntu bug. That ubuntu uses, as a fundamental component (not just an add-on), something else is surely an ubuntu problem? If my car breaks down I don't search for the supplier of a component, I go to the car maker. I do not know if other linux flavours use the same components.

Can this get escalated in any way? Surely such a basic operation as cut/copy and paste should be totally reliable, as it has been on all the systems I have used since 1970.

I now realise a couple of my Calc spreadsheets have been corrupted because of faulty copy and paste. The context menu is definitely the worst offender, but now any regular copy and paste (eg weekly or monthly readings of various things) have to be double-checked. For me, this is a Major bug.

[Bug 1879968] Re: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2
Davide, that's a very interesting discovery that every other copy/paste fails when you use the menu caommands. I see that on my machine too. Hopefully that will make it easier to debug the problem, since it is a much more direct way to reproduce the problematic behavior. (On the other hand, there is no guarantee that this copy/paste failure with menu commands is actually the same bug as the occasional copy/paste failures when you use keyboard shortcuts, since the observed behavior is pretty different.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
