I began testing it on Wayland in Fedora 24 and found that it failed to paste properly. This week I have tested in Fedora 25 alpha. The good news is after rebuilding it on F25 it works with gedit. The clipboard code is in C connected to python3 with Cython. The bad news is your problem with getting a password into SSH described in bug #758958 fails for me too with code that works properly now with gedit. The shell uses Gtk3 but several of the Gtk3 clipboard functions are not available by introspection through gjs. I know the bugs will be fixed, but copying and pasting is a fundamental operation for the user. If it does not always work it should be fixed before final release. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
