Description Nerijus Baliūnas 2019-09-27 13:34:03 UTC

It is not possible to paste selected text by middle mouse click into Qt5 apps, for example, kwrite. It is possible into gedit for example.

Comment 1 Nerijus Baliūnas 2019-09-28 13:48:20 UTC

Pasting works on Xorg, but not on Wayland.

Comment 2 Nerijus Baliūnas 2019-11-08 16:46:43 UTC

Pasting also works if I start application with env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb.

Comment 3 Matt Jones 2019-11-08 17:01:24 UTC

Thanks, adding that env var was a great temporary workaround for me.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2019-11-08 22:57:39 UTC

Indeed, Qt5 does not yet support gnome's primary selection protocol yet,

Will come with Qt-5.14 (or newer)

Comment 7 Nerijus Baliūnas 2023-04-25 17:08:43 UTC

Works on Fedora 38 with Wayland too.
