Description Davy Defaud 2017-04-16 12:40:35 CEST

Description of problem:
Copy buffers of the GNOME terminals opened with the background desktop menu don’t work correctly when running Wayland.

Version-Release number of selected component:
Occurs with GNOME 3.24.1 stack.

Step to reproduce:
- open a GNOME session on Wayland;
- enable the “Icons on Desktop” with gnome-tweak-tool;
- open a GNOME terminal from the desktop background menu;
- select a text inside the terminal with the mouse and try to paste it into another terminal with the middle button of the mouse.

The text pasted isn’t the one you’ve just selected but something previously
selected (if ever or nothing).


Notes:
- if you select some text from, for example, Firefox and paste into the GNOME terminal, it is correctly pasted.
- the same trouble occurs with a "child terminal" opened from an affected terminal menu (or its drop down menu);
- a GNOME terminal opened from the Activities menu of the GNOME shell
is not affected.

I think that was an interesting interaction of how the desktop extension worked. I'm pretty sure this has been fixed for ages, likely already in Mageia 7. If I'm wrong, please reopen.

Sorry for ignoring the bugreport.
