Copy password no longer copys password

[dengg-ximes]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Select Entry
2. Use the "Copy password" button to copy password
3. try to paste password

Expected Result

Both Paste buffer (select/middle click and Ctrl+C) are filed with password

Actual Result

The select buffer is unchanged
(the other one seems to be handled correctly, but that breaks a lot of my usecases not to be able to middle-click paste the password)

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

• installed via debian packaged downloaded from bitwarden/github
• used to work until at least 2023.9.x versions, not 100% shure aboute 2023.10.0
• as a workaround viewing the password and selecting it works but that is cumbersome and also not ideal as it means unessecarily displaying the password which is not ideal in all circumstances

Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Debian 12 (Bookworm)

Installation method

Direct Download (from bitwarden.com), Other

Build Version

2023.10.1

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

I found in some cases, manually selecting the text then using the context menu to copy is a viable workaround (or at least one better than typing it manually)

I think I might have been having trouble for a couple of days with this.

It does report an error when running it from a terminal, which happens whenever I click the copy button:

Error occurred in handler for 'clipboard.write': [Error: Unknown error while interacting with the clipboard: Display parsing error] {
  code: 'GenericFailure'
}

@AimVaguely hm....i don't see that, might it be that you are running wayland (KDE works both with X11 as well as with wayland ATM if i remeber correctly) and that creates additional error (messages)?

for me i see some other messages, but none at the time i copy the password.

as for system enviroment for completnes sake:
Debian Stable (12/bookworm)
X11 with i3 window manager

Yes, I am on Wayland. I forgot that might be relevant. My issue might not be the same one as this, but the symptoms look similar. I'll have a dig though the other reported issues later and see if any of them match my environment more closely.

In the Wayland cases, such as mine, it might be a dupe of #6812

Same issue here. Was struggling to understand this for the past hour:

Hi there,

Thank you for your additional report!

I can confirm I was also able to reproduce this issue, and I have flagged this to our engineering team.

If you wish to add any further information/screenshots/recordings etc., please feel free to do so at any time - our engineering team will be happy to review these.

Thanks once again!

[Lazerbeak12345]

Why was this closed? Was it fixed? Was it actually a dupe? Something else?

[parcelcat]

@Adedamola-Aina Thanks for the reply. Since this issue was closed without a reference to a commit, has this issue actually been resolved?

[douglasthiel]

I just retested on Fedora Workstation 39 and it has not been resolved. Thanks for asking. :-)
I used the copy button on Bitwarden and pasted into Typora. I got what was previously on the clipboard and not what I expected from Bitwardent.

@Adedamola-Aina Is the engineering team aware of the solution that was presented in #6812 (comment) with:

• https://github.com/solopasha/bitwarden_flatpak/blob/build-from-source/wayland-clipboard.patch
