(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: Screenshot_20250213_181909_-fs8.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:135.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/135.0

Steps to reproduce:

This happens only on Linux+Wayland (not X11), started to happen after updating Fedora 41 to KDE Plasma 6.3.

1. Open any webpage with Cyrillic, Greek, any non-latin text in Firefox (or in Thunderbird)
2. Select and copy the text to clipboard
3. Open Libreoffice Writer, press ctrl+alt+shift+v to paste without formatting. If it's an unformatted text (copied from the text field, address bar, etc, not from the html body itself) regular ctrl+v is sufficient.

Actual results:

Instead of pasting the symbols, \u0000 unicode notation of the symbols are pasted into Libreoffice document.

Expected results:

Cyrillic/Greek/etc symbols are pasted
