Copy-paste broken for Qt applications
Hi,
Affected version
3.36.1 on Fedora 32
Bug summary
I have some problems to copy and paste text between Qt applications on Wayland. I don't have any problem with this on KDE Plasma session or on Weston, which makes me think this is a Mutter issue.
I attached output from Kate and KWrite, where I ran both on Mutter and Weston and tried to copy text from one to the other and vice-versa. On Weston it worked in both directions, with Mutter it works only in one direction. It doesn't seem to matter in which order you try to copy from one app to the other, once you successfuly copy and paste some text, you won't be able to do it in the oposite direction.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Kate and KWrite
- Select some text in Kate and copy it to KWrite (this will work)
- Select some text in KWrte and copy it to Kate (this will not work)
What happened
Nothing. It copies text which was already copied, not the new text I tried to copy from the second app.
What did you expect to happen
Selected text from the second app is copied.
