The clipboard situation might be actually a little bit worse on Wayland then on X11. On X11 an application operating on sensitive data (like a password manager), could insert the password directly by emulating keyboard events instead. No such option on Wayland by design (there is ydotool which circumvents this, but you probably lose a lot of other nice security properties when you install it). Then again, on X11 pretty much any app could read all the keyboard events so not really a downgrade either. I have a few ideas about the optimal mode of operation of some future clipboard solution (and management of window focus is definitely a part of it), but probably better not to hijack this thread. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
