text copy/paste in crostini works for only some directions and applications |
||||||
Issue descriptionCopy/paste support currently works only in a few circumstances. Copying from GTK3 applications to Chrome and copying within a single application both work. Copying/Pasting between Chrome and native (without using a toolkit) wayland applications (such as weston-terminal) also works. Pasting or copying from an X11 application is not known to work at all. There are 3 underlying issues I have found causing this: 1) xwl-run/sommelier control the clipboard for X11 applications and may not play nice with the wayland data offers and sources. 2) The GTK3 version in Debian Stretch has a bug that causes it to not recognize the standard text/plain;charset=utf8 MIME type that textual paste data comes from. (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781814) 3) Chrome's wayland compositor implementation for data offers seems to only support text/plain;charset=utf8 rather than faithfully passing through each MIME type that a wayland data_source is offering.

@1, let me know what issues you've found. I did some limited testing when implementing that and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some problems. @3, i might be that we proxy everything through the chrome clipboard right now. we should do that for all mime types that the chrome clipboard supports but everything else should still be offered to clients in case they want to do a direct transfer.

@zachr are there next steps for copy & paste?

I was testing this last week and found this critical issue: crbug.com/835112 It would be working OK I think once that's fixed. There are some improvements, like rich text and copy/paste of images etc. that we want to follow up with but I think that's less critical.

This affects some applications in rather unexpected ways. For example, with LibreOffice Writer, I cannot even copy/paste inside the same application.

This is fixed with the latest canary. |
