Hello, I ran into an issues with copy/pasting on F31 with the new Gnome 3.34. Are these known, or are they expected and if not where should one file bugs please? gnome-shell-3.34.0-3.fc31.x86_64 --- Issue 1 ---- X clipboards cleared when applications closed Steps to reproduce: 1. Run gnome with Wayland 2. Install xsel and wl-clip to investigate the X and Wayland clipboard contents respectively 3. Open Gedit and write some text 4. Open a terminal (tile them both for ease) 5. In gedit copy the text: highlight and right click > copy 5. In the terminal, run the following commands: 5a. xsel -o (PRIMARY X selection buffer) 5b. xsel -o -b (CLIPBOARD X selection buffer) 5c. wl-paste (wayland selection buffer) 6. Then, close gedit, and re-run these commands. When gedit is running, the copied text is available to the X and wayland clipboards---all commands will show it. When gedit is closed, the `xsel` commands no longer show any results. The contents of the clipboards have been cleared. wl-paste still pastes the expected output. Is this expected behaviour? ---- Issue 2: cannot yank (copy) from gvim into Qt applications running on Gnome ---- Note that in the above, we used Gedit which I assume runs on wayland and accesses the required wayland clipboard properly. In the second scenario, if one copies anything from Gvim, it is available to the respective X clipboard, and the Wayland clipboard, but Qt applications running in Gnome cannot access any of this. Steps to reproduce: 1. Run gnome with wayland 2. Install xsel and wl-clip to investigate the X and Wayland clipboard contents respectively 3. Install qutebrowser and/or falkon 4. Open a terminal, open qutebrowser and falkon 5. Run a new Gvim instance: gvim -u NONE (ensures that no vimrc files are read) 6. Write two lines of text in Gvim (press i to enter insert mode, write a line, hit enter, write another line, press ctrl c to exit insert mode) 7. Copy the first line into the X CLIPBOARD selection buffer: go to the start of the line, press v to enter visual mode, go to the end of the line to highlight it; press "+y to yank to the + register (X CLIPBOARD selection) 8. In a terminal, check if this is available: 8a. wl-paste: shows copied text 8b. xsel -o -b: shows copied text 9. Try pasting in falkon or qutebrowser: ctrl v or right click > paste (greyed out): nothing shown. 10. Copy the second line into the X PRIMARY selection buffer: go to the start of the line, press v to enter visual mode, go to the end of the line to highlight it; press "*y to yank to the * register (X PRIMARY selection) 10a. wl-paste: still shows first line 10b. xsel -o -b: shows first line (as expected) 10c. xsel -o -p: shows second line (as expected) 11. Try pasting in falkon or qutebrowser: ctrl v or right click > paste (greyed out): nothing shown. 12. Open gedit, write something, copy it, try pasting in Falkon 12a. Irrespective of whether gedit remains open or not, the text is available the first time I try to paste it, and not any longer. 12b. On qutebrowser, though, this remains available, so this is a falkon thing/feature 12c. wl-paste continues to show this value as many times as you run it. 13. Since the x selections are cleared when gedit is closed (issue 1), vim cannot access the copied text at all using either the + or * registers later. So: - the wayland buffer is synced with the X CLIPBOARD buffer, which is fine: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/PrimarySelection - but none of this is available to Qt applications running in Gnome if if it originates from X buffers? I've created a new user and was able to reproduce this. While troubleshooting this on AskFedora, we also receive confirmation that this issue does not occur on F30. So, this is something to do with F31 and the new Gnome 3.34 bits. https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/yanking-from-vim-to-qt-applications-on-gnome/3534/20 -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
