2005351 - [Wayland] Clipboard sequence number is still changed multiple times if the clipboard data is set by us

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

I found bug 1935188 isn't enough to fix bug 1987113.
It is because when setting the clipboard data, we clear the clipboard data first which also generate a clipboard change event.
So it ends up having two change event fired, but bug 1935188 only ignore the first one.

My previous comment isn't exactly correct.
After some more investigation, it seems like Wayland have a different "clipboard owner" concept, the clipboard owner change callback is also invoke when application lose the system focus. I don't have idea how to improve clipboard sequence number on Wayland at the moment.
