I cannot reproduce this with 2.4-7 under xorg: xcb behaves as expected. You state that you use the "standard bookworm Gnome desktop" which should be using Wayland. Are you under Wayland? Because if so then I suspect the behaviour you observed might be due to Xwayland probably not implementing Cut Buffers correctly (or at all) -- which would be unsurprising as they have been a rather obscure/obsolete feature of X for quite some time. In that case it would be prudent to look for an alternative clipboard because I have my doubts that the Xwayland people would add this feature if one were to ask them to. If you want to debug this further you should paste the output of xprop -root | grep CUT_BUFFER For me its: CUT_BUFFER0(UTF8_STRING) = "foo" CUT_BUFFER1(UTF8_STRING) = "bar" CUT_BUFFER2(STRING) = CUT_BUFFER3(STRING) = CUT_BUFFER4(STRING) = CUT_BUFFER5(STRING) = CUT_BUFFER6(STRING) = CUT_BUFFER7(STRING) = Regards.
