using the crostini terminal app xclip to send things the clipboard seem to only work the second time. Rarely the first time.

Copy and paste inside of a single app never seems to have any problems.  Sublime text running under crostini and the crostini terminal app always seem to get their clipboard selections.

This appears to only be a global clipboard issue

Shortly after Gmail message loads, selected text to copy will automatically deselect itself and not copy.  I have to wait 3 seconds to successfully copy text.

I have the same issue copying text from the browser on various websites, including Docs. It can be hard to tell when it won't copy, and sometimes it will just refuse until I right-click some highlighted text to copy.

I'm running Version 71.0.3578.94 (Official Build) beta (32-bit) on Asus C101PA.

I've now updated to dev 72.0.3626.49 from stable in the hopes that it fixes the issue but alas it still does

This will happen regardless of the way the copy / cut is performed. Keyboard, touch and hold -> copy, javascript. 

Doesn't seem to matter what application it's performed in. Anything Crostini and Chrome seems to happen just as often.  It's most noticeable between applications for me. Copy and paste inside a single application seems slightly less often but still happens.

To debug I've installed a clipboard history extension which I think just polls the clipboard. This too fails 1 or 2 times out of 10 but since there is a delay it's hard to tell if the item makes it to the clipboard at all.

Same issue.
I am having to right click and cut to get around this.

Since this happens to me hundreds of times a day and obviously doesn't affect too many people I'd be willing to try bug hunt and try and debug the issue if someone would be willing to tell me how
