It's nice to see that the mutter fix has landed in focal-updates. Above, Daniel wrote "Let's try to release this fix and then the first person still having problems after it's released can open a new bug." OK - I am that person. I have the new Mutter package, and I can still easily reproduce the problem. I just opened two LibreOffice Writer windows side by side and tried repeatedly copying in the left window and pasting in the right window, and occasionally the paste visibly fails to paste the text I just copied.
So I have opened a new bug, namely bug #1879968. If other people experience copy/paste trouble even after they receive the mutter fix, just like I have, then that bug is the right place for further discussion. -- 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.
