Description EpicTux123 2025-03-25 19:53:30 UTC 
Sometimes when I copy things to the clipboard and then go and try to paste it simple doesn't work.
The copied thing is shown in the Meta+V menu, but CTRL+V doesn't work.

Some workarounds are:
- Pressing CTRL+V multiple times until it goes and paste the contents.
- Invoking Meta+V, selecting another item, and then selecting the desired clipboard item. This fixes it 100% of the time.

I guess this is related to Wayland. I have not tested with X11.
