OK, an update to where I am with this problem. For the record as much as
anything else.
Firstly, what happens-
tomboy-ng, when it copies or cuts to the clipboard, makes both a plain
text and a Rich Text Format entry in the clipboard. However, with Qt5
(and I suspect Qt6), when it notifies the system Clipboard of the change
in content, "something" goes wrong. I believe that this something is
within the Qt5/6 to Wayland space, having tracked the code (through LCL
and LCL-Qt5) to the libqt5pas library.
While I will prepare a bug report, I don't have high hopes.
For my next release of tomboy, I have a workaround. The Qt versions will
all have a "-platform xcb" added that will force use of libxcb instead
of wayland. This will also restore a few other, perhaps less important
tomboy-ng features as well. This will be version 0.40 of tomboy-ng, as
soon as I get the extensive testing necessary done.
For existing users, my suggested approach is still to do one of the
following -
* Switch (gear symbol on login screen) your desktop to xorg instead of
Wayland. Wayland is not ready yet !
* When copying from tomboy-ng, use the Plain Text Copy (from right click
menu), as it does not insert a RTF block into the clipboard, it works
fine, and plain text is usually what you want.
* Use the gtk2 version of tomboy-ng, on U2404 eg it requires no extra
dependencies.
* Use a desktop that does not use Wayland.
You can also use your older tomboy-ng with xcb -
$> tomboy-ng -platform xcb [enter]
But on some gnome systems, this produces a very ugly and confusing
double menu when clicking the system tray icon. I don't recommend that.
I will let you know when mature betas with the work around are available.

Dear David,
I can confirm that I have the same issue with copy-pasting....
