Description isaac.s.malmstrom 2020-04-27 19:23:03 UTC
Description:
Whenever I wish to copy data from a cell from the Calc UI, often I have to press ctrl+C twice in order for the data to actually be copied and therefore be pasted. Otherwise, what will happen is the previously copied data will be stored and subsequently pasted instead.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select cell with data.
2. Press Ctrl+C or right click cell and select Copy.
3. Press Ctrl+V or right click onto any text field anywhere on desktop and paste.

Actual Results:
First couple of attempts performing the above steps produced a normal copy/paste experience. Then the fourth or fifth time the expected data was not copied and therefore not pasted.

Expected Results:
The data located in each cell I select should be copied and pasted each and every time.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Likely another outfall of the clipboard destroyer aka "manager" in Mutter of Gnome on X11 similar to bug 128803.

Isaac: can you confirm? Please test with a Wayland session.
