Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.1696]

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

No response

Repro Steps

Copy something from the terminal or from a Windows application.

Open a Linux UI application (I tested this in firefox and IntelliJ Idea). Paste doesn't work.

(Pasting in the terminal works.)

Expected Behavior

I expect paste to work in UI applications.

I've downgraded WSL to the latest official release (1.1.3) and here paste works fine.

Actual Behavior

Paste doesn't work in UI applications.

Hi, I just want to let you know that I also have 5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 and copy/paste works to/from my Obsidian which I have installed as a GUI app on WSL2. 

WSL version: 1.2.0.0
Kernel version: 5.15.90.1
WSLg version: 1.0.51

Maybe possible reason? https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/issues/24391#issuecomment-1989195956

Jet another related issue.

From https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/issues/23544#issuecomment-1548095205:

Looking at the diff between the logs it seems that WSL provides text/plain;charset=utf-8 format instead of UTF8_STRING. It should be relatively simple to add support for this format too, but I have no idea why it doesn't use the de facto standard here.
