Description Ilgaz 2019-11-20 16:51:24 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a plasma wayland session
2. Run Firefox on Wayland
3. Copy some text from any application and try to paste into firefox. E.g. addressbar.

Actual results:
Paste button (menu) or control v shortcut doesn't produce anything

Expected results:
Paste the copied text

Additional info:

Only happens on Firefox on Wayland, Firefox on X11 doesn't seem to have this issue. Copying pasting inside application doesn't work either.

Comment 1 Ilgaz 2019-11-20 17:24:59 UTC
Apologies for missing the version part.

Name         : firefox
Version      : 70.0.1
Release      : 3.nss.fc32
Architecture : x86_64

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2019-11-20 19:56:52 UTC
Can you install wl-clipboard package and use wl-paste/wl-copy to confirm that's a Firefox bug, i.e. wl-paste/wl-copy gives different result than Firefox?
Thanks.

I have re-installed a fresh rawhide just to report this issue with a clean home directory. Wayland copy-paste using that command works perfectly but Firefox on Wayland even greyed out "paste" in right click menu.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2020-02-11 17:39:26 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle.
Changing version to 32.

Comment 5 Gerardo Rosales 2020-03-28 14:20:06 UTC
This is also affecting Fedora 32 Workstation Beta. There are no extensions running and system is up to date (by the time of writing)
Noticed that I'm able to copy from other applications to Firefox but not the other way around.

Package information:
Name         : firefox
Version      : 74.0
Release      : 5.fc32
Architecture : x86_64
Source       : firefox-74.0-5.fc32.src.rpm
Repository   : @System
From repo    : updates-testing

Comment 6 Mac Ryan 2020-03-30 22:17:11 UTC
This also affects Fedora 32 and **GNOME** sessions.

Curiously, it seems that copy-paste works internally in FF.  If I cut or copy something within FF I am able to paste it back in some other place in FF, but not in another application.

Comment 7 Martin Stransky 2020-03-31 05:55:23 UTC
Thanks, I'll look at it. I see broken image copy/paste from Firefox but regular text works for me on Gnome.

Comment 8 Martin Stransky 2020-04-03 20:29:53 UTC
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1622538
Can you try the tescase from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1160 ?
Thanks.

Mozilla guys marked that "invalid", still need info? I will be able to test it on a VirtualBox VM instead of real hardware.

"Invalid" in Mozilla terms means it's not a bug in Firefox but in some other component, which is gtk3/mutter in this case.
I was asking for needinfo as the original bugreport I closed is for Gnome (mutter compositor) so it would be useful to know if it also affects KDE which uses Plasma Wayland compositor.
Thanks.

I am able to reproduce my original issue under current 32 beta (completely updated) running Gnome. Regarding the issue on gnome "mutter", I couldn't find a way to paste an **image** to Firefox. I even opened a mail compose window on fastmail.com to try.

Anyway, this issue is still valid for Firefox current on current 32 beta.

I have tried on current Fedora 32 using latest package versions. Pasting to "Google Docs" didn't work while pasting to other applications work. Firefox is not running in Wayland mode BTW, it uses X11 protocol for the time being. Using plasma-wayland.

Comment 13 Martin Stransky 2020-07-21 09:25:29 UTC
You can try https://pasteboard.co/ for the image paste.

Comment 14 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:00:01 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 15 Ben Cotton 2021-05-25 15:11:09 UTC
Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 16 Levy Sant'Anna 2022-01-24 20:08:53 UTC
This bug is still valid on Fedora 35

Comment 18 Martin Stransky 2022-01-28 08:16:08 UTC
Please test latest Mozilla binaries:

Thanks.

Comment 19 Martin Stransky 2022-01-28 12:41:37 UTC
It may be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752505

Comment 20 Ilgaz 2022-01-29 03:36:16 UTC
Unfortunately the bug is still there. Pasting image to the pasteboard.co gives "no image data found in clipboard" error but pasting to "Kolourpaint" shows image so the image is there in clipboard. 

Current Fedora KDE spin freshly installed, Wayland (default) enabled.

Comment 21 Ben Cotton 2022-11-29 16:47:16 UTC
