Please note that I really have no idea which Fedora component contains the bug/problem, so feel free to fix this in the report. Description of problem: Copy/Paste does not work in Fedora 25 Steps to reproduce Screen capture and image using the "screenshot" tool that come with F25. Copy the image from screenshot using the "copy to Clip board" button> Cntrl V (paste) into Gmail new mail running in Chrome: Version 55.0.2883.87 (64-bit). Problem/Bug: This no longer works in F25. This use to work just fine in F24 prior to my recent the upgrade.

Created attachment 1238889 [details] chrome timeout-crash
copy/pasting text from gedit text editor to my gmail running in a chrome brower tab crashes, times out. I attached the brower crash. This is really painful for me! Do you have any advice on how I can capture debug logs so we can cut to the chase and fix this bug. Copy/paste is major desktop functionalitiy that I use every day! Please help! Thanks, Mike
OK, it seems to be related to Wayland as the new default windows manager in F25. Work Around: In Fedora 25, you can logout of Fedora and log back in by selecting "GNOME on xorg" menu pick at the login prompt before you login. It seems that copy/paste is working better now. I'll also note that when running Wayland, the copy/paste problem I encountered we intermittent. I did not hit the problem every time, but when I did hit the copy/paste problem daily...and once I hit it is rather debilitating.
I'm setting component to wayland so hopefully wayland team will notice it.
Happen to me when: - copy from chrome and try to paste on writer (libre-office) or from writer to chrome. From - screenshot to writer Usually works on first or second copy/past, then stops work. This is really boring problem.

Different ways to determine if wayland in running: 1. Open a terminal window 2. "echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY" and look for a non blank line after the command. 3. "highlight some text", right click and attempt to first copy then paste. FAILURE to paste indicates that wayland is involved. This begs the question. Why bother with wayland if cutting/pasting are disallowed?
I think that the copy/paste issues might be coming from the usage of a clipboard manager which is a very important use case. Would be good to know whether the people hitting this issue used a clipboard manager or not. Also which one. I actually found only one for gnome last time I've tried wayland but can't remember its name.
I faced similar issue. Steps to reproduce: 1) Ctrl+C text from a browser (Firefox 55.0.3) 2) Ctrl+V it to GEdit (55.0.3). It works. 3) Ctrl+C another text from GEdit. 4) Ctrl+V it to the browser. It does *not* work.
No certain if this is related but I have always used a clipboard manager. I'm fairly agnostic to which ones I have used, but since FC 25 and 26 none of the old clipboard managers seem to work across many apps (parcellite, gclipper, gpaste, clipit) If I am in Firefox, Chrome, MS Code my hotkeys to the clipboard managers work. If I am in terminal, terminator, nautilus, Text Editor none of my clipboard manager hotkeys work.
(In reply to bmarshallbri from comment #11) > If I am in Firefox, Chrome, MS Code my hotkeys to the clipboard managers > work. > > If I am in terminal, terminator, nautilus, Text Editor none of my clipboard > manager hotkeys work. It looks like X11 apps see each other in XWayland while Wayland apps don't see the clipboard. It may be a feature, if the clipboard manager doesn't fit the Wayland security model -- it's an obvious way for a hostile app to steal data from others in X -- or it has to be included in/managed by the Wayland compositor (within the trusted realm).

not fixed in 26 and I think not in 27 too
That's true its not fixed yet in fedora 27 but logging in with GNOME on Xorg is working fine. and not just that if you are having the issue like after switching the user in terminal, you are not able to launch Graphical application or you are getting any X11 warning while doing ssh -X is also resolved with this. mainly he was not able to carry the display with it by GNOME on Xorg its carrying that.
Aleksander: Based on this issue, I checked and found that I had "Clipit" clipboard manager installed. Clipit never worked usefully under Wayland, but it was still there. Removing Clipit and restarting *appears* to have caused the copy/paste crashes to stop, although copy/paste to/from Libreoffice is still very slow (as in, 20 seconds to paste).
UPDATE: the above comment was incorrect; even with the removal of Clipit, copy/paste continues to fail. The issue appears to be directly related to the "size" of the pasted object. For example, I can paste 5 rows from a Libreoffice spreadsheet into a text editor. I cannot paste 12 of them; it hangs, and eventually I get an "app is not responding" warning from the text editor.

This is still the case in F27, copy/pasting under wayland is very unreliable and no clipboard managers seem to work properly. And I don't read about any particular changes in Fedora 28. I'll try it out soon though but I don't really hope much.

Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 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.
This bug is still present in fedora 28/29. Not sure how I re-open.
I confirm. In F29 the bug is still there. Moreovere, also XFCE is not loading.
After a fresh install and update of Fedora 30 i face the same problem, on LXDE, click the clipboard icon, select Preferences, select History tab, and uncheck "Purge history after timeout". that works for me.
This is F30; I use GNOME Shell Extension Clipboard Indicator. I also face the bug that often copy-paste does not work in the expected way. When I copy a string, it is visible in the clipboard indicator (expected). However, I can only paste it elsewhere if I either have the source application still open or if I select the entry again in the clipboard indicator.
The "wayland" package contains only the core wayland libraries and protocol definition, it does not implement copy/paste. That lives in the particular wayland display server, which in this case seems to be gnome-shell. Reassigning.

The problem as described in the original report is no longer reproducible in Firefox running on the Gnome Shell nor on Firefox running in the Plasma Wayland session.
