User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0
Build ID: 20170425063635

Steps to reproduce:

Upgraded to 53.0.2-1 last night.
Tried to copy text from website to paste into another website, but failed.

I copied text from another application, and it would not paste in firefox.

Downgraded back to 53.0.2 fixed the issue for me.


Actual results:

No text is copied or pasted within firefox.


Expected results:

Text should copy and paste.

That sounds a duplicate of bug 1363872. Which version of gtk3 are you using? Can you upgrade to gtk3-3.22.14-1?

Currently using 3.22.14-1 on Arch Linux.

In that case, it could be a regression in FF53. Could you narrow down a regression range in FF53 by using the tool mozregression.
See http://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/ for details.
Run the command "mozregression --good=52", make the test for each build launched by the tool, enter if the build is good or bad, then copy here the final pushlog.

Hoping I performed mozregression correctly.

Here is the final pushlog reported:

Yes, thanks. Maybe due to bug 1320860. It could be related to the GTK theme you're using. Could you test with different themes maybe?

Changed theme from Adwaita-x-dark-and-light-theme to Adwaita-compact-gtk-theme, same pushlog:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=741a720c98cdb92c229376be0badbf036f653bff&tochange=8f1e420699832d42753c6503aa31861be6f5b186

BlackMATE (one of the default themes), also same pushlog:

Karl, what do you think about this issue?

Comment 8

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Do you mean you downgraded to 52.0.2?

No, downgraded to 53.0-2 from 53.0.2-1

From pacman: extra/firefox 53.0.2-1 [installed: 53.0-2]

Typo in my original report:
"Downgraded back to <s>53.0.2</s> 53.0-2 fixed the issue for me."

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

The changes listed in comment 4 should have been in both 53.0 and 53.0.2, and so the regression windows are not consistent (unless something was backed out and re-landed on the release branch).

Can you try 53.0 and 53.0.2 from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ please?

How are you copying and pasting?
Does the primary selection have similar failures to the clipboard?

[codyj]

I have reinstalled version 53.0.2-1 and copy/paste is working again.

Not sure this was ever confirmed in branch versions, and from the duplicate bug may not have been a Firefox issue.
