Can't Copy/Paste anywhere but the browser/terminal

This may be a me-problem but I'm unable to paste my clipboard contents into any applications besides the terminal or browser. Is this as-intended? If so is this configurable? This is on Bazzite Desktop - Wayland

KDE or GNOME?

I have never heard of his issue before. Does right click and paste work? Also are you on Nvidia? If so try X11, some very weird error with wayland and nvidia

My friend has gotten inconsistent clipboard behaviour on the nvidia build of Wayland KDE Plasma 6, so it's similar to your issue

KDE, yeah sounds similar. I'm on a laptop with Nvidia I'm trying to paste into a game without a rightclick + paste option

Yep, he's also on an NVIDIA laptop, using Optimus I'm not sure what the issue is exactly but know you aren't alone with that issue

Dang, alright. Super weird. it's like the clipboard permissions are exclusive to outside of fullscreen applications

I also have Nvidia Optimus. Other than having to use X11, Bazzite has been amazing in terms of just working If you switch to windowed mode can you copy paste? Could you share what you are running image wise rpm-ostree status? Run that in terminal

ctrl+v just randomly worked. I've been trying ctrl+v, ctrl+shift+v, clicking the clipboard in the tray, NOTHING worked. So weird.

Same problem on Aurora KDE 6, can paste on firefox and terminal but not other application. Sometimes the problem will just disappear without any operation... really weird.

Just had a similar problem but don't know if it's related. Intel, Aurora KDE 6. Could see the clipboard content in the system tray but couldn't paste into my flatpak installed application. Restarted the application and now it works. Curious...

Temporarily workaround: type something in application that can't paste normally, then copy the texts you type. now the paste will work.
