Still broken in gnome-shell-3.16.1-1.fc22.

Still broken in gnome-shell-3.16.2-1.fc22.

The selection buffer is an X-specific concept that does not exist in the wayland protocol.

However, copy and paste with the middle mouse button works correctly for Fedora 21 during a wayland session. So, this looks like a regression to me.

In Fedora 21, applications were still using the X backend by default, even in a wayland session.
