Cannot Copy/Paste between X or Wayland windows on Fedora 29 with GNOME 3.29 (XWayland) #94

Saroufim commented 6 years ago

Copy/pasting between wayland windows and firefox running on Wayland was possible in the past. With Fedora 29, every window can copy/paste to other windows regardless of them being XWayland or regular Wayland windows except this version of Firefox. It cannot neither copy nor paste to or from other windows.

Same here on Fedora 28.

I see this often as well, on Ubuntu 18.04.1 running on Wayland. Sometimes it works only on one of the windows (first one? most left one?), sometimes it doesn't work at all.

Diving a bit more into this, I find the following.

When I copy text from one Firefox window and paste it in another Firefox window, it does not work.
When I copy text from one Firefox window, paste it into GNOME Terminal, and paste it again in another Firefox window, it works (both in terminal and browser).
When I copy text from one Firefox window, paste it into another Firefox window, then try to paste it into GNOME Terminal, it doesn't work (both times it doesn't work).
When I maximize the Firefox window, copy text, paste it into GNOME Terminal, it doesn't work. After unmaximizing and re-copying, and pasting it usually works.

It looks like there is a correlation between paste not working and this error in syslog:

org.gnome.Shell.desktop[<pid>]: libinput error: client bug: timer event6 debounce: offset negative (-8ms)

Installing libinput 1.11.3 got rid of these messages, but did not solve the issue (see debian bug).

Do you see this behaviour as well?

Pobega commented 6 years ago

I can't speak for the syslog error, but I experience everything you mentioned, exactly as stated. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Most of the time it doesn't.

In general it makes it really hard to copy and paste URLs, which is a dealbreaker for using the Flatpak as a daily driver.

It's been a while since the last update here, but I'm having the issue as well if it's worth anything, on the lastest nightly on wayland. If I un-maximize the window, I can usually copy and paste easier

There's been some fixes to the wayland clipboard recently. Could you please retest now? Currently I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Thank you.

wvengen commented 5 years ago

That's great! And indeed, I can paste between X windows and Wayland windows, and the behaviour I mentioned before is fixed. Thanks! :fireworks:

Uninstalling Clipit Clipboard Manager worked for me. # dnf remove clipit And restart session.
