I'm on Fedora 36 using geany-1.38-2.fc36.x86_64 I'm selecting text and then the "copy" action. (Either by pressing CTRl-C or selecting copy from the menu.) Then I go to any other application, such as Thunderbird of xfce-terminal or gnome-terminal or gedit, and I try to paste: Actual results: Nothing happens. Nothing is pasted. This is a regression. This broke recently.
I've got confirmation that it isn't just me. I also confirmed it isn't based on my config - with a fresh user account to problem happens, too.
Changing component to the "gtk3" package, apparently it is responsible for the regression. I booted a fresh fedora-36 live system. I installed geany. Tried copy paste from geany to terminal: works Then I updated a single package: "dnf update gtk3". Quit Geany, tried again. Now it's broken.
On my primary work system, I reverted to this package: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1968304 gtk3-3.24.34-1.fc36.x86_64 That is sufficient to avoid the regression. All other packages on my system are up to date.
I've identified the patch that is responsible for the regression (based on discussions I found): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/0c1ea9221976b838101d2593754b658808fdc542 I've rebuilt the latest 3.24.35-1 package locally - with the above patch reverted - which fixes the regression (this bug) for me.
This upstream issue has links to other bugs/patches that helped me to "guess" the change in gtk3 that caused the regression: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3345
The STR from comment 2 behave exactly the same on a fedora 37 live system.
I found this upstream issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5397 With this patch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/eca445672a48ac4a870790efa63339f8d974c2fd I will test it with a local rebuild on f36.
Confirmed, applying the patch worked with a local rpm build of the latest package. Kindly requesting to include the fix in the official package, thank you.
