Steps to reproduce:

  1. Plug in two sets of keyboards and mice
  2. Attach the second set of keyboard and mouse to a new seat (e.g. seat1) in the sway configuration file. e.g.:
    seat seat1 attach 9390:6163:RAPOO_Rapoo_2.4G_Wireless_Device
    seat seat1 attach 9390:6163:RAPOO_Rapoo_2.4G_Wireless_Device_Consumer_Control
    seat seat1 attach 9390:6163:RAPOO_Rapoo_2.4G_Wireless_Device_Mouse
  3. Restart sway
  4. Execute
    wl-copy -s seat0 's0m';
    wl-copy -s seat1 's1m';
    wl-copy -p -s seat0 's0p';
    wl-copy -p -s seat1 's1p';
    firefox;
  5. Then try pasting, using both keyboards and both mice in firefox

Actual results:

When pasting using the keyboard or mouse from either seat, only 's1p' or 's1m' are pasted depending on whether you paste it using a middle click or not.
No 's0p' or 's0m' are ever pasted.

Expected results:

When using the seat0's keyboard and mouse,
pasting should give 's0m' or 's0p'.
And when using the seat1's, it should gives 's1m' or 's1p'.
