Thanks, I've been hunting this one for a long time. It's perhaps https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1485916

How reliably you can reproduce that? Can you check if there's a copy or paste problem? You can check actual clipboard content by some clipboard manager like gpaste or clipit. Focus change may help or some delay after paste (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/66)

The possible workaround for this issue is to use Drag&Drop.

Comment 3 Milan Zink 2018-10-17 16:50:51 UTC
Very, very weird. I've tried to reproduce it again and it was simply working. I'll try it once again after fresh boot. I'll send update tomorrow.
