1061863 - e10s Copy/Paste on Linux, the PRIMARY selection is not used

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1068811

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Félix Piédallu]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20140722030201

Steps to reproduce:

I copy (Ctrl+C) text "a" and select "b". In FF or any other software.
On the same or other tab, I Middle-click in a text field.


Actual results:

The text "a" from the CLIPBOARD is pasted.


Expected results:

The text "b" should have been pasted (from the PRIMARY selection).
This does happen correctly on non-e10s windows.

The other way works fine : copy and select on Firefox, middle-click on a non-e10s window or any other software, the PRIMARY selection is pasted.

WFM using a GTK3 build changeset http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c360f3d1c00d

I can reproduce this with a clean profile. 

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open webpage with an input in e10s window.
2) Execute `sh -c "echo -n 'Ok!' | xclip && echo -n 'Bad!' | xclip -selection c"` in your terminal. This will put string “Ok!” into primary clipboard (middle click paste) and “Bad!” into regular one (^V paste).
3) Paste by using middle mouse click into input from step 1.

Building GTK3 to test it.

Yes, I can reproduce it on GTK3 build (205448:3b7921328fc1) too.

I believe I had just checked inside Firefox. Will check with external applications as well.

Duping forward, because it has better metadata (?) and is mentioned in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis.
