Description Pierre Ossman 2017-01-11 14:19:55 UTC

As the subject states, you cannot paste things using middle-click in Epiphany under Wayland. Other applications work fine, as does the normal clipboard (Ctrl-v).

TBH I put a boolean somewhere that says Wayland doesn't support middle-click paste, from two years ago when it really didn't. Could try figuring out where that is, changing it and see if it just works....

Or maybe I'm misremembering. I can't find it.

Note: it seems that primary selection is half-supported. You can paste out (i.e. WebKit does update the selection clipboard when you select text) but you cannot paste into WebKit using middle-click.

I stumbled across the code today by chance. Posted a patch in the upstream bug.

Fixed upstream, thanks for reporting!
