Description benedikt.tissot 2015-11-22 21:07:04 UTC 
when i copy text from gnome-web it is not posible to paste it in another application or tab and gnome-web will show "Oops! Something went worng while displaying this page. Please reload or [...]"

To reproduce install gnome on archlinux or antergos (i think the problem  occured on fedora ,too) open web try to copy and paste.
Comment 1 benedikt.tissot 2015-11-24 16:09:41 UTC 
could you tell me where to report it and why i can copy and paste from other webkit based browsers?
(And is it ok, too ask a question in a closed bug? if not i'm sorry)

Don't bother, it's already reported on bugzilla.webkit.org as #146574. Thanks for taking the time to report it here, though!

Well "WebKit-based" could mean many things... you could be using QtWebKit, which doesn't have any native Wayland support, or WebKit EFL, or an older, insecure version of WebKitGTK+ from before Wayland support was added, or Chrome which is not even WebKit at all anymore. Anyway, your other browser is probably actually an X11 client, using X selections. Epiphany is nowadays a real Wayland client, but the clipboard support is either broken or not written yet.

I'll try to fix it soon, but I have a lot of other bugs I'm trying to fix soon too....

Yeah, thanks for the information and for the great Software you work on!
I understand that and did not mean to offend anyone, after all its free Software and i am just glad that something like GNOME exists
Comment 4 Eduardo Silva 2015-11-29 15:34:28 UTC 
Shouldn't this bug be re-opened, and have 'blocks: WaylandRelated' ?
Comment 5 Michael Catanzaro 2015-11-29 15:41:06 UTC 
No changes in Epiphany will be required. If I determine we need changes in GTK+, I'll reopen this; otherwise, this is being tracked as WebKit #146574.
