Public bug reported:

I am still running into the bug reported in Bug #1879968:

"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."

For me the bug still exists: "Copy" in LibreOffice Writer now fails
invariably.

Using Ubuntu 20.04, I have four possible ways to log in:

  1. Wayland
  2. Ubuntu
  3. Gnome (vanilla Gnome session, using Wayland)
  4. Gnome on Xorg

The bug occurs in all four.

The bug occurs whether I use CTRL-C or use "Edit --> Copy" from the
LibreOffice menu.

("Paste," by the way, is not a problem. I can paste whatever is in the
clipboard. The problem lies with "Copy.")

I am not able to say whether the fault lies with Mutter, with
LibreOffice, with both, or with something else.
