Unable to copy text between Chrome and apps running under ARC++

Project Member Reported by w...@chromium.org, Jul 27 2017 
Chrome Version: 61.0.3159.8 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
OS: ChromeOS (Caroline)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open up some tabs in Chrome.
(2) Open up GMail, in ARC++.
(3) Copy a URL of a tab.
(4) Paste it into GMail.
(5) Copy a different tab's URL.
(6) Try to paste that into GMail.

What is the expected result?

Expect that the second URL appears in GMail.

What happens instead?

The first URL that was copied, is pasted instead.

I've used this previously, without difficulty, so it seems something has regressed.

@wez:

After a quick research, this if my theory of what's happening:

Gmail might have changed the way its clipboard-api works.
I guess older Gmail  versions, were calling "getClipboard()" every time the user "pasted" something.
New version fetches the clipboard only when the "clipboard data change" event is generated. But that event is not propagated from Chrome to Android.

So applications that rely on "Clipboard notify event" might not work correctly.

If my theory is correct, you should be able to reproduce this bug, even with 1-year old ChromeOS/ARC++ provided that you use the latest version of Gmail.

The good news is that the new version of the clipboard (the one that supports rich-content) takes into account the "Clipboard notify event".
