Source: gtk+3.0 Version: 3.24.24-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch, upstream Forwarded: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2591 X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-qt-...@lists.debian.org
Hey, currently it is impossible to use middle click pasting between Wayland clients and GTK clients running on XWayland, like for example Chromium and Firefox on Plasma Desktop. KDE implemented the standard protocol (zwp_primary_selection) a while ago: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422426 Whereas GTK support landed only last month, missing the 3.24.23 dot release: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2591 Upstream GTK developer Emmanuele Bassi said that there are no more gtk3 dot releases planned (at least not before GTK 4.0 is released). Emmanuale recommends cherry-picking this patch from the gtk-3-24 stable branch to distro packages: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/9a693c7228a88b76a007aed41b101d89d084cf9b Can you do this backport? To verify that the patch works: 1. Log into a Plasma Wayland session 2. Open a gtk3 client using X11, such as Chromium or Firefox 3. Select some text 4. Open any Wayland client, for example Konsole 5. Try pasting the text with the middle mouse button Regards hefee Link to original email of the KDE distributions list: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2020-November/000890.html -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (400, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
