Paste from Linux "Primary Selection" X clipboard using mouse middle button no longer works in specifically Google Docs.

Reported by johnbm...@gmail.com, Jul 3 2016

Issue description

<b>Chrome Version       : <Copy from: 'about:version'></b>
URLs (if applicable) : Specically Google Docs (Docs, not spreadsheet, etc.)
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari:
    Firefox: Fail (same issue)
         IE:
      Opera: Fail

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open any Google Docs (document, not speadsheet.)
(2) Load data in Linux "Primary Selection" X clipboard by highlighting text with mouse.
(3) Left click inside Google Doc document. Click middle button to attempt paste. This has worked for year but stopped working about a week ago. I reported to Google Drive but they are not interested.

What is the expected result?  The text that was loaded into Primary Selection X clipboard should be pasted.


What happens instead? Nothing is pasted.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Note: The paste using the mouse middle button still works outside of the Google Doc area. For example, inside Chrome's address bar or the Google Docs Ctrl-F Search Text Box. 

I think this is a Google Docs Linux specific bug but I can't get the Google Docs people to listen. Link: https://goo.gl/WhGB6d

Any help would be appreciated. Loosing the Primary Selection Paste capability cripples Google Docs in Linux.

Not a Chrome specific issue but issue with Google Docs as confirmed by the reporter @ https://goo.gl/WhGB6d . Adding proper label for someone from the respective team to have a look at this.
