Such a feature should have never been enabled by default. At least under X11 since as you say, for Wayland: > If you use Wayland, application will be sandboxed by default, so it > won't be able to get selections from other apps anyway. Note that's more due to the way selections work under X11 and Wayland. Even if an application is sandboxed under X11 in a usual way, it will be able to see the selection. Or one would have to start the sandbox with its own X server (e.g. --x11=xephyr with firejail?), but with consequences on the usuability of the application itself. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
