WAYLAND_DEBUG Copying from URL bar, failed

SUMMARY
It's impossible to copy URL from FF address bar to other Wayland clients.
Neither Middle mouse button paste, nor keyboard shortcuts copy/paste work.
From other places of the opened page, keyboard shortcuts copy/paste work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select some text in FF address bar
2. Try to copy it with Ctrl+C
3. Go to any other client and try to paste the selection with Ctrl+V (or by any other mean)

OBSERVED RESULT
No paste of URL selection possible.
The only paste happens with Ctrl+C/V when text inside page was selected. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Any selection should be copyable with keyboard shortcuts as well as middle mouse click. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: Fedora 33
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested with FF 84.0.2 run on Wayland. The same result was observed with FF 86.0b3.
Attached WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 FF logs when copying from URL bar (fail), and from page's text (success).

UPDATE:
the address bar's text still can be drag&dropped, with the glitch cursor's "grabbing hand" form persists afterwards.
Comment 3 Andrey 2021-02-04 21:13:49 UTC
I've upgraded my base system and reinstalled Plasma from scratch.
After that, I can't reproduce the issue any more.
It might be my Plasma installation was broken since it had other issues.
FF 85.
