[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1879968] Re: Copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice and Wine apps
** Summary changed: - copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2 + Copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice and Wine apps -- 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/1879968 Title: Copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice and Wine apps Status in Mutter: Fix Released Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Focal: Triaged Bug description: In Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 there was a bug that caused copy and paste operations to fail pretty often: the text that was pasted was not the text that was just copied. See the long discussion at bug #1852183. The bug was recently marked closed, since the package mutter - 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 landed in focal-updates and makes the bug occur much less frequently. Unfortunately the bug still exists, and is not difficult to reproduce. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and have the new 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 version of mutter. I just opened two LibreOffice Writer windows side by side, and repeatedly selected some text in the left window, copied it, then attempted to paste it into the right window. In my experiment, approximately 1 in every 20 paste operations failed: it did not paste the text that was just copied, but instead the text that was copied before that. Now, an error rate of 1 in 20 may not seem so bad. On the other hand, if you spend all day writing a document and copy and paste dozens of times during the day, then you may hit this bug multiple times per day (as I have been recently), which is a significant annoyance. I tested in LibreOffice since that is where I have seen the bug most often, but I have also seen it occur in other applications as well.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1879968] Re: Copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice and Wine apps
I do a lot of web work each day building websites for clients. When copying content from Libreoffice to firefox the content will only copy and paste every so often. I have gotten in the habit of using the shortcut multiple times to copy however this is only successful 60% of the time. I know when it has been copied as the content selected flashs when using the shortcut. If it does not flash I have to unselect and reselect to try again. This bug needs to be prioritised as it significantly impacts the use of the platform.
