I have same issue

Debian 12 + KDE

[RaptaG]

Same issue here, on Fedora Kinoite 38 and Wayland

[almereyda]

A fix in bitwarden/clients#6812 (comment) suggests to "enable the wayland-data-control feature" of the "arboard crate".

[parcelcat]

Possibly also related to bitwarden/clients#6883

[rderooy]

workaround to the issue:

1. view the password
2. highlight the password with the mouse
3. right click, and select "Copy"

Same here

Had the same issue on Ubuntu 23.10 Wayland. The solution for me was to disable socket=fallback-x11 in FlatSeal for Bitwarden. (I also have enabled socket=wayland but I'm not sure if it's relevant).

This didn't work for me. (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE 5.27 Wayland)

[almereyda]

The workaround worked here in Ubuntu 23.10 with GNOME 45 on Wayland.

socket=wayland was already active.

Edit: As well on Fedora 39 GNOME 45.1 Wayland.

Sadly the workaround with disabling socket=x11 and socket=fallback-x11 didn't work out for me.
Debian 12 (fresh install), KDE 5.27.5

There is a possible fix for this issue in #169

Once it lands, please try it and report whether the problem is fixed for you.

Reverting to X11 is not an actual fix. It is at best a workaround.

[ghisvail]

@rderooy Based on your comment it looks like you did not bother reading the actual commit closing the issue.

Let me quote it for you:

Keep both Wayland and X11 socket permissions

There is an issue upstream with copy and paste on pure Wayland.

Users have reported that keeping the X11 socket alive solves it.

To be reverted when upstream fixes the issue for good.

Emphasis added to be sure you caught the important line.

[eylenburg]

I tried running the current version with fallback-x11 disabled but x11 and wayland enabled but the problem remains. Possibly this is a KDE-related issue as @deB4SH had the same problem also on KDE?

I can confirm that on Fedora 39 KDE disabling fallback-x11 doesn't solve the issue.

[ghisvail]

Copy / pasting now works on GNOME using Wayland with the most recent Flatpak update.

If it does not work on KDE, please consider opening a different issue and maybe get attention of members of the Flatpak community knowledgeable with KDE to help fix it.

I don't think this should be marked as "closed" already if it doesn't work one of the two big Linux desktops. Even if the issue is possibly somewhere upstream.

[ghisvail]

I don't think this should be marked as "closed" already if it doesn't work one of the two big Linux desktops.

This issue contains a mix of different attempt at triaging for different desktops and suggest the copy / paste feature fails to work on Linux in general.

I believe the path forward would be better served by a dedicated issue targeting KDE, with triaging and reporting solely focused on this desktop environment and with the right people involved in it.

[Lazerbeak12345]

Can confirm - copy & paste works on GNOME. I did not test KDE (though I'd like to at some point).

Hi, I don't see any mention of it but it doesn't seem to work on Windows 11 (23H2 at least) either. Tried to reinstall the app but I have no other idea what to try.
