Description maxime.deroucy 2017-05-10 16:27:24 UTC 
Hello,

The fix for #781814 have some side-effect.
I use gnome 3.24, Archlinux, wayland.

I **can** copy/past:
* from gnome-terminal/epiphany (wayland) to firefox/chrome (xwayland)

But I **can't** copy/past:
* from firefox/chrome (xwayland) to gnome-terminal/epiphany (wayland)
* from firefox/chrome (xwayland) to firefox/chrome (xwayland)

Reverting the commit 7d9450fb60b03dcead85a462f30f24e60119c520 fix this issue (but make bug #781814 reappear).

Regards

Breaks pasting under Budgie and GNOME Shell under X. Can confirm that reverting the commit resolves it.
Comment 3 Carlos Garnacho 2017-05-10 18:52:54 UTC 
Fixed for X in commit 546433a4b7f. Wayland needs the patch in bug #782472. I'll just mark this bug as a dup of that one.

Version 3.22.14-1 of the gtk3 package on Arch seems to still have this issue. Does that mean commit 546433a4b7f didn't fix the issue?
Comment 5 maxime.deroucy 2017-05-11 16:28:04 UTC 
@Jack O'Connor as Carlos says. Wayland needs the patch in bug #784272 :
https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=5758401

    xwayland: Use the right atom type for further selection requests to X11
…

max@max-laptop % git branch -a --contains=1ab02344a792ae7f9f6548ea8757f23561d8709e
  remotes/origin/gnome-3-24

max@max-laptop % git tag -l --contains=1ab02344a792ae7f9f6548ea8757f23561d8709e
3.24.2

So the fix will be available in mutter-3.24.2.

@Maxime got it, thanks for clarifying.
