Pretty curious why this bug isn't mentioned on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes#Desktop ? Since this is a real show stopper for anyone using Ubuntu Desktop seriously AND the issue was reported months before the release of 20.04, it should at the very least have been clearly communicated via i.e. the release notes mentioned above.
Where can I file bugs so the process is improved an users will never (unknowingly) run into issues such as these again? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) with LibreOffice is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93) Status in LibreOffice: Won't Fix Status in Mutter: Unknown Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: [ 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: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.34 -Clipboard-Manager It seems like that could be related.
