As I have stated on a comment to the linked xorg bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25220#c15
There is no negative impact for the selection-based copying for users who don't want it; you might as well use X for years without knowing it's existance and using CLIPBOARD without any issues. Unless you can actually point out any way in which this interfieres with users who don't want use it, I see no point in requesting that selection-based copying isn't implemented in wayland. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #25220 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25220 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to wayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865885 Title: Implement proper clipboard in wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wayland/+bug/865885/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
