Copying text from applications other than Warp does not apply to the Warp clipboard

Describe the bug

When copying a command from the browser (Firefox, or any other application other than Warp) the text is copied to the clipboard correctly (can be pasted in another application) but is not available in Warp using ctrl+shit+v or (my remapped keybind: ctrl+v).

Copying text from within Warp does update the clipboard within Warp, however, this does not affect any other applications.

To reproduce

Copy from external app to Warp:

1. Open any other application
2. Select and copy some text (right-click and copy or use keybinds)
3. Try paste the copied text into the Warp terminal
4. Nothing is pasted (apart from text previously copied within Warp if any is available)

Copy from Warp to external app:

1. Select and copy text from the Warp terminal
2. Attempt to paste copied text in another app (using right-click menu or keybinds)
3. Nothing is pasted (or previous global clipboard is pasted)

Expected behavior

Copying text from other applications should synchronise with the clipboard used by Warp (and from Warp to any other app)

Additional context

Not sure if related but warp also had issues starting the default browser (check #4245).

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Hey @vihangatheturtle do you mind posting a screengrab video of the issue? I'm not seeing the same on ubuntu, even with CTRL-V mapped to paste.

Are you using Wayland or X11? Also, please send us your logs found in ~/.local/state/warp-terminal/warp.log. We recommend quitting Warp, deleting the log file, restarting Warp (for a fresh set of logs), doing the paste action, and then attaching that file.

Sure, here's the screen recording of the issue:
https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/assets/43118457/e8f483ec-1207-4eb5-9a6c-cb0b142b3b57

And the logs:
warp.log

Using X11

@vihangatheturtle I encountered the same issue. However, after I restarted the Warp app, it started working for me.

Oh right, I have restarted it multiple times but not caused copy pasting to start working.

However, I did install Warp on my laptop (using same install method: .deb file) and it is working correctly on there, will send some system info and logs from the laptop when I am next using it.

I just installed Warp on Ubuntu 22.04 and it does not provide the "Paste" option either, nor is CTRL-SHIFT-V working.

Edit - From the command pallet it pasted. The Right-Click menu does not have it as an option though.

[vihanga-w]

Not sure if related, but from the command pallet I see 2 options for Paste

Not sure what has caused this, maybe the new update, but it seems to be working fine for me now. Seems to have fixed after I finally closed a bunch of Firefox processes from #4245?

Edit: I say maybe the new update since it still wasn't working directly after updating

I am on linux (ubuntu), and the same thing still happens. I can`t paste or even see the paste option when using the right button of the mouse. I can copy content inside warp and paste it. Also, I click "Copy Command" but It doesn't seem to work either

[fedealconada]

Experiencing these issues as well but happens randomly

[manjurulhoque]

Copy and paste is not working for me. Using latest version.

After an update the last week, I can finally copy and paste. It's not a problem anymore. I posted here 2 weeks ago, you can find my post above. Thank you
