I experience this problem in all kinds of editors (LibreOffice, RStudio, Evolution, Kate), and also sometimes when creating screen dumps to the clipboard (ctrl+shift+print screen). I also thought it was connected to Clipboard Indicator, but it didn't help de-activating it.
But, hopefully good news ahead: The bug should be fixed in gtk3 3.24.13 and mutter 3.34.2 according https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/878#note_642048. So now we just have to wait for Ubuntu to get to these versions. Anyway we could get this first in line of updates? - it is extremely annoying. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues #878 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/878 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in Mutter: New Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in libreoffice source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Triaged Bug description: I'm running LibreOffice 6.3.2.2 on Ubuntu 19.10. In this environment, copy/cut/paste often fails. Specifically, the paste command sometimes does not paste the text that was cut/copied most recently. Instead, it pastes text that was cut/copied at some prior time. I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, and I now see this problem very often, i.e. many times every day. There is some discussion of the problem here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/213510/copypaste-issues- libreoffice-calc/ Several posters there say that they are also using Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 19.10 includes Mutter 3.34, which has a new clipboard manager: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.34 -Clipboard-Manager It seems like that could be related.
