Clipboard doesn't work across apps of different kinds #130

Closed Corallus-Caninus closed 3 years ago

Corallus-Caninus commented 3 years ago

copying to clipboard does not allow pasting in another window. Pasting can only occur within the window that is copied from.

I just duplicated this bug, but found that copying & pasting works across apps, as long as it's the same app (e.g. you can copy text from one terminal and paste to another of the same type).

I can't believe we've gone this long and not noticed that this doesn't work across different apps though!

I should be able to start working on this tomorrow.
