I opened a bug report that was closed as a duplicate of this bug, so I think that this bug is the right place for me to post my comment now. I just want to point out that this problem still exists under Ubuntu 20.04 and Libre Office 6.4.2.2. Ubuntu 20.04 went into production status a few days ago and I did a clean install of it on my system. I use it exactly as it shipped with no customization of any kind. But my situation is worse now because the login screen no longer offers me an "Ubuntu on Wayland" session which was the work around for this bug.

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. 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.
