Whoops, I was testing Ubuntu on X11 and Debian on Wayland. I switch to X11 on Debian and this is indeed reproducible there (see attached).
I will report this upstream. ** Attachment added: "libreoffice-6.3.3.2-snap1 - Debian X.mov" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1852183/+attachment/5304850/+files/libreoffice-6.3.3.2-snap1%20-%20Debian%20X.mov ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I'm running LibreOffice 6.3.2.2 on Ubuntu 19.10. In this environment, copy/cut/paste often fails. Specifically, the paste command sometimes does not paste the text that was cut/copied most recently. Instead, it pastes text that was cut/copied at some prior time. I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, and I now see this problem very often, i.e. many times every day. There is some discussion of the problem here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/213510/copypaste-issues- libreoffice-calc/ Several posters there say that they are also using Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 19.10 includes Mutter 3.34, which has a new clipboard manager: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.34 -Clipboard-Manager It seems like that could be related.
