Public bug reported: Since 10 days copy/paste does not work as expected. As far as I have observed, the bug covers all applications, which are using system clipboard to copy and paste data. A very good example is the usage of LibreOffice Calc. You can copy some cells, which are marked with a blinking border, but you cannot paste the content otherwhere. Most of time, copying multiple times solves the problems, but that is not acceptable.
Maybe, the root cause is identical to bug #1852183 ([X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93)) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: mutter 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-99.100-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-99-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.14 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri May 15 14:04:40 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-04-30 (745 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: mutter UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic third-party-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878906 Title: copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1878906/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
