Once again I am the original reporter - Daniel recently asked for my opinion about whether this bug has been fixed.
I have now been running with the proposed 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 package for three days, during which I have done a fair amount of editing with copying and pasting. During that time I saw this copy/paste bug occur twice: once on 5/16 when I couldn't copy and paste from Epiphany (a web browser) to gedit, and once on 5/17 when I couldn't copy and paste from a LibreOffice Writer window into another LibreOffice Writer window. My opinion is that the proposed fix is a definite improvement, because I am sure that without it I would have seen more copy/paste failures these last few days. However I believe that the bug is still not completely fixed. -- 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: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93) Status in LibreOffice: Won't Fix Status in Mutter: Unknown Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in mutter source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] 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. [ Test case ] 1. Use use libreoffice writer/calc 2. Copy text around 3. Paste it and ensure it always work [ Regression potential ] Copy/paste won't work as expected, for non-text types ----- 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.
