Thanks. I also just wanted to be sure that I was installing the right
packages. May I ask, how did you know that these are the ones you need
to apt install?

I'm confused because the official package is called gtk+3.0 but when I
use apt I need to specify all of those? Those are also fewer packages
than listed in on the Launchpad page's "binaries built by this package".

Anyway I've now successfully installed the packages above. This doesn't
require a reboot, does it?

Title:
  Copy from Firefox Wayland fails to be pasted anywhere else

Status in GTK+:
  Unknown
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gtk+3.0 source package in Impish:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact

  The clipboard copies from GTK based software sometime stop working
  under wayland

  * Test Case

  - in a wayland session try to copy text between software, from firefox
  to gedit for example, it should work in a consistent manner

  alternative testcase inspired from the gitlab ticket
  - install wl-clipboard
  - use evince to open a pdf
  - select and copy some content
  - on a cmdline do 
  $ wl-paste -t TEXT
  - try to paste then in another software, gedit for example

  the copied text should be pasted

  
  * Regression potential

  The changes are in the wayland selection source so the impact should
  only be for wayland users and limited to clipboard interactions

  
  ------------------

  
  Running Firefox 84.0.2 for Ubuntu Canonical-1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, on 
Wayland native

  Version       84.0.2
  Build ID      20210105180113

  Window Protocol       wayland
  Desktop Environment   gnome

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

  If I copy text from a web page and try to paste it into another
  Firefox page, the text is pasted correctly.

  If I copy text from a web page and try to paste it in [gedit,
  libreoffice, thunderbird, terminal, slack (electron)] nothing happens.
  The Gnome Clipboard extension stays empty when content is copied from
  Firefox Wayland.

  Pasting *from* another app *to* Firefox works fine.
