[ Impact ]

I'm running LibreOffice 6.3.2.2 on Ubuntu 19.10.

In this environment, copy/cut/paste often fails.  Specifically, the
paste command sometimes does not paste the text that was cut/copied most
recently.  Instead, it pastes text that was cut/copied at some prior
time.

[ Test case ]

1. Use use libreoffice writer/calc
2. Copy text around
3. Paste it and ensure it always work

[ Regression potential ]

Copy/paste won't work as expected, for non-text types

-----


I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, and I now see this problem very often, i.e. 
many times every day.

There is some discussion of the problem here:

   https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/213510/copypaste-issues-
libreoffice-calc/

Several posters there say that they are also using Ubuntu 19.10.

Ubuntu 19.10 includes Mutter 3.34, which has a new clipboard manager:

Manager

It seems like that could be related.
