Bug ID: 436246
Summary: Mouse selection clipboard (PRIMARY) works on Wayland,
but klipper wont capture it
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: hsanta...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
Flags: Wayland+
SUMMARY
GTK 3.24.29 received a path that made PRIMARY work between QT/KDE apps on
Wayland.
So we can mouse select text from (e.g.) Firefox and than paste it by middle
clicking to (e.g.) Konsole.
But right now this text is not captured by klipper (5.21.4).
Klipper will not capture PRIMARY (mouse selection), no matter if from GTK apps
or KDE / QT apps.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE Plasma (Wayland session) and start Klipper
2. Open any app (like a GTK app or a KDE/QT app);
3. Select text with mouse cursor;
4. Open another app;
5. Use middle click to paste the text previously selected, from the first app
to the second one;
6. Check Klipper, the selected (and pasted) text was not captured by Klipper.
OBSERVED RESULT
Klipper will not capture text from mouse selection on Wayland, even when mouse
selection clipboard is working good (we can select to copy and middle click to
paste).
EXPECTED RESULT
Klipper should capture from mouse selection on Wayland.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Platform: Linux (Arch Linux)
QT: 5.15.2+kde+r180-1
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.21.4 (Wayland)
