[Bug 1913775] Re: Copy from Firefox Wayland fails to be pasted anywhere else

[Sebastien Bacher]

** Description changed:

- Running Firefox 84.0.2 for Ubuntu Canonical-1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS,
- on Wayland native
+ * Impact
+ 
+ The clipboard copies from GTK based software sometime stop working under
+ wayland
+ 
+ * Test Case
+ 
+ - in a wayland session try to copy text between software, from firefox
+ to gedit for example, it should work in a consistent manner
+ 
+ alternative testcase inspired from the gitlab ticket
+ - install wl-clipboard
+ - use evince to open a pdf
+ - select and copy some content
+ - on a cmdline do 
+ $ wl-paste -t TEXT
+ - try to paste then in another software, gedit for example
+ 
+ the copied text should be pasted
+ 
+ 
+ * Regression potential
+ 
+ The changes are in the wayland selection source so the impact should
+ only be for wayland users and limited to clipboard interactions
+ 
+ 
+ ------------------

+ 
+ Running Firefox 84.0.2 for Ubuntu Canonical-1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, on Wayland native
  
  Version 	84.0.2
  Build ID 	20210105180113
  
  Window Protocol	wayland
  Desktop Environment	gnome
  
  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:
  
  If I copy text from a web page and try to paste it into another Firefox
  page, the text is pasted correctly.
  
  If I copy text from a web page and try to paste it in [gedit,
  libreoffice, thunderbird, terminal, slack (electron)] nothing happens.
  The Gnome Clipboard extension stays empty when content is copied from
  Firefox Wayland.
  
  Pasting *from* another app *to* Firefox works fine.
