Can't Copy Image to clipboard on Fedora with Wayland

[timrichardson]

When using Fedora with the wayland session, and Firefox (native wayland), I can't copy and paste an image from ksnip into gmail compose or google docs. This is with both the latest rpm install, and the Gnome Software install (which is listed as updated Aug 29 2020 so it seems to be latest as well).

[DamirPorobic]

Thanks for reporting. What Fedora version are you using?

[timrichardson]

Hi Damir, Fedora 32 regards Tim

Tested just now with latest ksnip installed as snap and AppImage on Ubuntu Gnome Wayland, seems to be working, I was ableto take a screenshot and copy paste it into an email in GMail in browser. I think I have a Fedora 31 VM installed, testing with it next.

Works also in Fedora 31 running Gnome (the default one, not Classic and not xorg) which seems to be Wayland according the XDG_SESSION_TYPE variable. Here I have tested with ksnip 1.7.2

The steps that I do:

• Open ksnip
• Take screenshot, now visible in ksnip
• Open Firefox
• Login into gmail
• Click compose, this opens a new window for creating a new email
• Switch to ksnip, click copy
• Switch back to the new email window
• Paste image via CTRL+V
• Screenshot now visible in email

You doing any of those steps differently?

[timrichardson]

Hi Damir, I have F33 beta now, and ksnip 1.7.3 (Flatpak). When I do the steps you mention, the screen shot is not pasted into my gmail compose tab. I have the gnome shell extension 'Clipboard Indicator' which shows clipboard history. There is no entry for the ksnip copy at all. My screenshot is a rectangular selection. Full screen does not work either. Usign the setting to automatically copy to clipboard does not work. Pasting in LibreOffice Writer does not work. The copy button in ksnip is not putting the screen shot in the clipboard. So I decided to uninstall and try again. Previously, I had a dnf install I tried the flatpak install and 1.7.3 installed, but it's the same thing. Nothing is copied to the clipboard. The problem is not on the paste side, it's the copy which is not working for me. regards Tim ==

Ok, I'll try installing Fedora 32 next, this is the one which didn't work for you initially?

[timrichardson]

HI Damir, yes, then I upgraded to F33 beta in place. The wayland session (Fedora is really impressive btw, speaking as someone new to it). Also, I was able to paste into Krita (flatpak install) but the image was unrecognisable.Krita complained about color-maps it couldn't understand. regards Tim

I have now installed Fedora 33 beta in a Virtual Machine but I still cannot reproduce the issue, I'm able to take a screenshot and copy it into LibreOffice

Same with gmail in Firefox

[DamirPorobic]

Can you try on your side installing Fedora 33 beta in a VM in VirtualBox and just download the ksnip AppImage and try out copy pasting somewhere?

[timrichardson]

Hi Damir, I will do that, regards Tim

HI Damir, I use vmware workstation pro for my VMs, so I first created a VM in it. I'm running the wayland session (that is, I did not touch the defaults). With the software app install (which is flatpak I assume), I get the same problem. Pasting into a gmail compose windows in firefox just adds a blank line. BUT the appimage version works! (v 1.7.3) regards Tim

Thanks Tim for verifying. That brings us closer to the the issue.

@LyzardKing do you have any idea if there is some kind of Clipboard restriction in Flatpaks and Snaps that could prevent accessing the Clipboard under Wayland?

[LyzardKing]

The snap works (I use it with copy/paste often). There shouldn't be anything flatpak-specific...
I know that the clipboard works differently in wayland, but I'm not sure
