Just retested with libreoffice-5.1.3.2-6.fc24.x86_64.rpm (got it straight from Koji): Bug still present. Here is a updated description: When running LibreOffice under Gnome in Wayland mode I can only paste things external apps put into the clipboard until I copy something to the clipboard with libreoffice itself. From that point on I can only paste the last thing I put there using libreoffice. Once I close the libreoffice window in question and reopen it I get the expected behavior. If this sounds a bit confusing, here is a example of the problem (1) copy "foo" into the clipboard with firefox -> pasting in libreoffice gives "foo" (2) copy "bar" into the clipboard with firefox -> pasting in libreoffice gives "bar" (3) copy "foobar" into the clipboard with libreoffice -> pasting in libreoffice gives "foobar" (4) copy "baz" into the clipboard with firefox -> pasting in libreoffice still gives "foobar" (*bug here*: this should have been "baz") (5) close libreoffice window and reopen the document -> pasting in libreoffice now gives "baz" Same happens when I use gedit (gtk3 app and hence a wayland client) instead of firefox (which is running with Xwayland). Side note: Due to the recently introduced hard dependency on libreoffice-gtk3 it is not possible anymore to easily work around this bug. So this for me becomes a show stopper for using the wayland mode. And I'd like to see it fixed, otherwise it will make the wayland support in f24 look bad :-/ Just verified: the problem is also present on a fresh F24 beta install before and after updating. Problem still present in libreoffice-5.1.4.1-1.fc24.x86_64 Problem still present in libreoffice-5.1.4.2-1.fc24.x86_64 when running in wayland-gnome Side note: The problem makes it to reviews now. Quote from http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=fedora-24-review&num=3 """ I could copy and paste a link from Firefox into its own address bar, but not into LibreOffice. Attempting to paste it into LibreOffice would instead paste the last thing I had copied inside LibreOffice... other times it would work, though. Restarting LibreOffice appeared to fix things, but further investigation is necessary. """ (The conclusion there that it has something to do with Xwindows is wrong afaics, that's why I left it out in the quote) The various gtk_clipboard things which under X can be used to determine the ownership of the clipboard work differently under wayland. Seems one cannot really determine the ownership of the clipboard, so gave up on that and run everything through the system clipboard which seems to work for me. libreoffice-5.1.4.2-3.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-f2bf872a06 libreoffice-5.1.4.2-3.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates.

I wonder if that might be the root of Bug 1350478 which turned up here today. libreoffice-5.1.4.2-3.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 stable repository.

This bug came back with libreoffice-5.1.4.2-4.fc24 The problem is just like described in Comment 1. Yeah. There are a bunch of thing going on. Some were arguably on our side. And our side is fixed now. But there is a bug on the gtk side, which is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768177 which cannot be sanely worked around. Ideally I'd like to see that new fix backported to our gtk |
