1636712 - wayland paste does not paste, if the text was copied outside of firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1509740

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Дилян Палаузов]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have compiled Firefox 76 myself with --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk3-wayland and I run weston as The Desktop Environment. I run wayland-protocols-1.20, cairo 1.14.12, weston 8, libinput 1.15.2 and wayland 1.18. I have installed https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard . I have the environment variables: CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland, GDK_BACKEND=wayland, WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 .

Problem description: I cannot paste text into FIrefox.

I can copy text from from Firefox and paste it in gedit (and other gtk applications) and wl-paste.

I can copy text from wl-copy and paste it to wl-paste or gedit.

But I cannot paste into Firefox the text I copied from wl-copy or gedit.

I have to add for my system, that sometimes the GTK applications come to a mode, where they can only paste text that was copied from within the same application, until I copy again different text from that application, paste it there, and then I copy text from a different application and paste it in the original application. I have not figured out why and when this happens, but it seems to be related to GTK (in fact I use primary Evolution and Epiphany, so this might be WebKitGTK related actually).

I forgot to add that I have no X11.

Could you try running both Firefox and the other application with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 and paste the logs? Thx.

I first copied text with wl-copy and then tried to paste it in firefox.
