I think that the upstream bug

    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/878

may not be the same issue.

This bug has "X11" in the title, and so it really refers to behavior
under X11.   On Ubuntu 19.10, if I run an X11 session then
copying/pasting fails very often, especially in LibreOffice.  For this
reason I switched to Wayland several weeks ago.  Under Wayland,
copying/pasting still fails occasionally, but far less often.  I saw
copy/paste failures dozens of times per day under X11, and now they
happen maybe once or twice per day in Wayland (with intensive use of
LibreOffice in both cases).

In a comment in the mutter bug linked above, Carlos Garnacho wrote

    This is wayland specific.

So it is unclear to me that the patches linked there (which are to both
GTK and mutter) will fix the problem in X11.  Has anyone tried to
reproduce this copy/paste problem after applying these patches under
X11?
