Same issue, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on Wayland session, copying content from one window to the other, when alt-tabbing or else clicking on the windows to get focus.

But, if I click on another app, or on my desktop background, before clicking on the target Zed window, or if I alt-tab to another app (GNOME Terminal, Firefox, GNOME Text Editor), then alt-tab to the target Zed window, paste works.

There is no entry being made in the zed log file when trying to copy/paste.
