(Reporter: jackyguo18, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Copy anything from Firefox. This includes both page content and the address bar.
  2. Run wl-paste --list-types.
  3. Run wl-paste.
    OPTIONAL:
  4. Run echo "foobar" | wl-copy, then try pasting into Firefox. This works.

Actual results:

Step 2 yields a long list of possible types.
Step 3 yields an empty line.

Expected results:

I expect the content I copied from Firefox to appear in wl-paste (step 3).

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thanks for the report! Which desktop environment do you have?

Thanks for the report! Which desktop environment do you have?

I use KDE 5.27.4 on Wayland.

Can this be "fixed" by enabling "Middle Click: Paste Selected Text"in KDE settings>Workspace>General?

Yes, it can. Is there already a bug report for that?
