are the entries added to klipper at all? It sounds to me like Firefox never sets the data on the selection. No entries are added to the Klipper in single click. You have to click a few times for it copy to Klipper. The problem with pre-selected clicks is also that you can't un-select them and then select manually. All you can do it click them a few times and hope that they get copied. sorry, but that sounds like it's a firefox issue. Please also test whether a middle click would insert it. If it doesn't, it's firefox. No, not even middle click registers it with Klipper in Firefox. On Chrome both left and middle click will make an entry in Klipper. no that's not what I meant: when one selects with the left mouse button the application (in this case Firefox) is supposed to copy the selection into a special buffer which can then be used by middle click into a different window. E.g. 1. select in Firefox with left click 2. switch to a kwrite window 3. middle click Expected Result: text copied into kwrite Actual Result: ??? After left-clicking the pre-selected link and then middle click in Kwrite pastes the previously copied item and not the pre-selected link that should have been copied. Sorry, that's then inside firefox. It doesn't provide any data and Klipper cannot magically generate it ;-) Created a bug report for Mozilla guys to look into the issue. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102205 |
