I am sorry. I tend to agree with others. A lot of us are endearing folks. And when I say us I mean people already exposed and using a distro. Only a portion of us though, so the rest will get fed up.
99% of new users will encounter this and just can the distro guys. The majority would not even fool with it long enough to realize there's the non-productive work around of pressing ctrl+c twice every time. Most will just see it fails at something really basic and wonder what else it fails at that they don't see yet, or just get frustrated and move on. A basic function like this being broke should be a huge priority. But from what I am reading here it has carried on into the next LTS version without a fix as well... Daniel, I don't see an option to select Ubuntu on Wayland on the login screen? I will have to figure that out. I haven't moved to 20.04 yet. Since the bug was still present I didn't get motivated to. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) with LibreOffice is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93) Status in LibreOffice: Won't Fix Status in Mutter: Unknown Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in mutter source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] 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. [ Test case ] 1. Use use libreoffice writer/calc 2. Copy text around 3. Paste it and ensure it always work [ Regression potential ] Copy/paste won't work as expected, for non-text types ----- 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.
