User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36 Build Identifier: When running Wayland, text written by ST to the clipboard does not end up in the clipboard buffer. (Fedora 23&24 on Wayland, no issue for Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS) Multiple gnome shell extensions are therefore unable to use the clipboard. Here are two: https://github.com/thilomaurer/pwcalc/issues/8 https://github.com/Tudmotu/gnome-shell-extension-clipboard-indicator/issues/41 For example St.Clipboard.get_default().set_text(St.ClipboardType.CLIPBOARD,"text for the clipboard"); does seem to have no effect. Debugging into the code leads to the function st_clipboard_set_text in https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/blob/master/src/st/st-clipboard.c This function calls a bunch of X server functions which should finally deliver the clipboard text to the clipboard buffer but they seem to have no effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gnome on wayland 2. start firefox, go to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/825/password-calculator/ , allow site plugin 3. use toggle-switch to install password calculator plugin to gnome shell 4. open plugin (key-icon in icon bar), enter alias and passwort, press enter, observe notification to copy to clipboard 5. try to paste clipboard contents somewhere, but: no effect
Sorry, I messed up. It is also broken in Ubuntu 16.04.1
Patch for Gnome Shell Toolkit is available, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769619
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
