I forgot to add that everything works as expected under a Xorg session.

** Description changed:

+ Problem started after upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 and only occurs when
+ running a Wayland session.
+ 
  I use Geany all day, every day. It's a wonderfully light-weight editor
  with enough IDE functionality to keep me productive without getting in
  my way. I generally work with a Geany window on one side of my monitor,
  a Gnome Terminal window on the other.
  
  Something I do all the time is to select some text in Geany (a variable
  name, say) then middle click into the terminal. For example I might type
  'grep' (or the superb 'ag') into the terminal, then middle-click to
  append the variable name to search for. Since upgrading to Ubuntu 21.04,
  this has stopped working [1]. Trying to copy in the opposite direction,
  from the terminal into Geany, has also stopped working [2].
  
  Oddly, I still the expected behaviour as long as I stay *within* a Geany
  window: I can double-click on a word to select it, then middle-click to
  paste what was just selected.
  
  The normal ctrl+c, ctrl+v clipboard works just fine.
  
  [1] Something does get pasted, but not what I selected in Geany.
  Instead, it is whatever I last selected from within another application,
  eg. Firefox.
  
  [2] What does get pasted in this case is more complicated. If I haven't
  selected anything in a while I will actually get the expected behaviour:
  the terminal selection will pasted into Geany. Usually though, I'll just
  get whatever I last highlighted in the Geany window instead.
