copying from google-chrome neither is working (it works only to xwayland apps, but not to wayland apps)
Comment 1 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-04-21 22:16:07 UTC
What version?
Comment 2 Seqularise 2019-07-27 11:48:22 UTC
it doesnt work in firefox-wayland either,  started with 5.16 i think
Comment 3 Brian 2019-07-30 10:58:05 UTC
I assumed these kinds of issues is was what the developers wanted to resolve with the clipboard revamp.

Hopefully that comes in time for 5.17 like it was suggested.
Comment 4 David Edmundson 2019-12-07 19:59:49 UTC
please can you be much more specific. 

Copying from what to what doesn't work?

The clipboard between Xwayland applications is very inconsistent (one paste might be fine, but then randomly the next wont be), and images do not work at all. 

Perhaps the text inconsistency issue is related to the mystery window focus inconsistency I've been having issues with? 

I'm starting to be convinced their is a ghost in the XWayland code causing chaos.
Comment 6 Roman Gilg 2019-12-08 20:01:55 UTC
This is still not specific enough. Please name example applications and at best ways a way/path of action to trigger the issue reliably.
