It does not work under gnome + wayland either (but works with gnome + X11 and plasma + X11). Apparently this should go under libinput ? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle. Changing version to 34. This is partially but not completely solved, cfr. https://pointieststick.com/2020/06/05/this-week-in-kde-okular-konsole-plasma-and-wayland/ On the KDE Spin of Fedora 34 Beta, middle click paste between Firefox and KWrite (as an example) still does not work. Possibly it is related to this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422426 for which there may be a GTK fix upstream(?) Yes, some issue(s) remain with gtk interoperability (that needs fixing on gtk side). In particular, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3791 The fix has already been soaking in the gtk-3-24 branch for 2 weeks: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/3357 Could we add this patch to the Fedora gtk3 package now, instead of waiting for gtk 3.24.29? The fix for master seems to have made it into gtk 4.2.0 by a few minutes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/fb48699ba41813fc5c34c60958f94aa465ef1d98 gtk 3.24.29 was released today, and is already packaged in Arch Linux, so I tested there. Primary selection now works fine between a Qt app (konsole) and most GTK3 apps (gnome-disks, seahorse, tilix). However, it still fails between Qt apps and Chrome, Firefox, Thunderbird or Signal Desktop. I checked, and these binaries are using the new libgtk-3.so: % cat /proc/$(pidof -s chrome)/maps | grep -m1 gtk 7fab70d09000-7fab70d8c000 r--p 00000000 103:03 17587682 /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0.2404.25 % cat /proc/$(pidof -s thunderbird-bin)/maps | grep -m1 gtk 7f87486d7000-7f874875a000 r--p 00000000 103:03 17587682 /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0.2404.25 The only difference I can see is that gnome-disks, seahorse and tilix are Wayland clients, while Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird and Signal Desktop are X11 clients. This is another known issue with no fix in sight: "Primary selection will still not work between QT-Wayland and e.g. Chromium or Pidgin. In order to fix that kwin will need to translate between primary selection of Wayland and X11 - that's not yet done, so the bug should get reopened." https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422426#c24 I confirm that f34 shipped with (patched) gtk3-3.24.29-1.fc34 (in updates) So gtk side of this should be good to go, just need the primary selection translation on plasma side. I'll probably open a separate bug for that, and close this one, any objections? new bug #1954147 , closing this one. |
