I can add this, this is a completely fresh install as of just three or four days ago via the 17.10 iso. there should be then no trace of Unity, of I am not mistaken. So i think I can attest to this being a gnome issue via wayland. again, simply installing parcellite suffices, as long as you don't mind the parcellite icon constantly being on the top right. but a clipboard manager is really a necessary thing these days if you work on your nix box like I do.

This means that if you copy something from an application, and then close that application before pasting it elsewhere, it's lost. For now I was able to fix this issue by installing parcellite. Also, there should be a better way to add a bug report to launchpad than fudging it like i had to, but I brought this up as a bug before, to no joy. -Denny ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:17.10.7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Oct 21 20:57:29 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-20 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: release-upgrade UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1725888/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
