When requesting data from one of the available mimetypes, instead of reading from the primary, it will read from selection. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy text into selection (CTRL+C) 2. Copy text into primary (select text) 3. Read selection data (CTRL+V on client) OBSERVED RESULT The clipboard will read from selection, even when it seems like the primary selection was the one that triggered the signal. EXPECTED RESULT Unfortunately, the protocol does not mention the primary selection. I would expect primary to either not work (no signal emitted for primary), or for both primary and selection to be affected when reading from / writing to the clipboard.
