1650611 - Context-menu in properties window of a bookmark does not work with a mouse

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1621660

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P2)

Description

[Gre0]

Attachment: Example picture of related context-menu.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

Steps to reproduce:

1> Open the bookmark sidebar
2> Right-click a bookmark and open properties
3> Right-click any of the input fields (name, adress, etc) to paste/cut/copy anything

Actual results:

Cut/Copy/Paste is not working in this context-menu with the mouse
(it is working with the keyboard, e.g. ctrl+v, after selecting the input field)

Expected results:

If you are a mouse-user and want to change the properties of a bookmark this context-menu should work correctly with the mouse.

Kernel: 5.7.6-201.fc32.x86_64 x86_64 bits: 64
Desktop: Gnome 3.36.3
Distro: Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)

Yesterday I additionally installed the 'Firefox Flatpak Version 87' in 'Fedora 34 beta' and there the context-menu works as expected > copy-paste-cut-...everything is ok.
At the same time on the same OS 'Firefox-87.0-7.fc34.src.rpm' still has the reported problem.

Gre0, are you sure FF started in Wayland mode? Because it doesn't do that by default - Fedora activates via a downstream patch. You can check via "Window Protocol" in about:config - I'd suspect it says "Xwayland" instead of "Wayland" in your cas.

You are right, Robert. Its xwayland.
Since I'm just a user who noticed that this [Copy/Paste window] doesn't work under Gnome+Wayland, but does under Gnome+X11, I reported the error (using F32 at the time). Without any background knowledge.
As I said in my last post, on F34 I recently installed the 'Firefox Flatpak' and with that, everything works fine > maybe that is some helpful.
