Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

With two zed windows, I can't copy a text from one into another, and I need to paste it inside a gedit, copy it again and paste it on the destination to workaround this issue.

Environment

Zed: v0.143.6 (Zed) OS: Linux Wayland ubuntu 22.04 Memory: 7.7 GiB Architecture: x86_64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

I can't even copy paste from one Zed instance to the same instance, zed 0.143.7-2, arch linux x86_64 with hyprland (wayland compositor). edit: I just realized I still have clone of repo from which I built, last commit I have is 951fbc57b, on which copy paste worked. I assume it's a problem with code, not with package repos building stuff broken. I can't bisect to what commit introduced that because my laptop was overheating and crashing when I was building. I may try to do that later on better pc when I will be home.

I also came to report this (Linux, Wayland, GNOME). An additional observation:

I can copy-paste from one Zed to another program (e.g. Firefox, terminal), and back.
I can't copy-paste from one Zed to another Zed.
When I copy-paste from another program to one Zed, I can't paste that to the other Zed until I re-copy.

It seems as if they're sharing a single channel somewhere.

Zed: 0.141.3 (/nix/store/6xk0j54s5fcsf7ivxysy0nb58d6iw4ii-zed-0.141.3/libexec/zed-editor) OS: NixOS (unstable) Architecture: x86_64

I have the same issue on. zeditor --version just gives me Zed – /usr/lib/zed/zed-editor, so not sure which version this is.

I can copy-paste using the middle click implicit copy (select text, go to other window, middle click on mouse). Both between different zed instances and other windows.
I can copy-paste (ctrl-c, ctrl-v) inside one of the open zed editors
I can not copy in one zed (ctrl-c) and paste in another zed window (ctrl-v)
I can copy from zed (ctrl-c) to another window like gedit (ctrl-v)

My zed comes from extra/zed 0.144.4-1 on Archlinux. My xdpyinfo starts with:

name of display:    :0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number:    12401001
X.Org version: 24.1.1

It also shows different keybindings for copy-paste sometimes (even when I have vim mode disabled) And these don't even work

I'm probably having the same issue, can't paste anything into Zed at all, but can copy from zed and paste into Firefox, for example.

NixOS, Hyprland, latest Zed from unstable nixpkgs (0.141.3)

Also getting this issue running Zed 0.146.3 Running Debian Bookworm with Gnome and Wayland

The wl_data_device::selection event states this:

The data_offer is valid until a new data_offer or NULL is received or until the client loses keyboard focus. Switching surface with keyboard focus within the same client doesn't mean a new selection will be sent.

This seems to be the issue. I cannot reproduce on KDE but the spec states that we must handle this differently. I'll take a stab at this later.
