            Bug ID: 164984
           Summary: [GTK] No copy and paste between workspaces
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Copy and paste between applications where both the source or the destination application has a WebkitGTK+ widget can fail.

Environment: Gnome Shell on Wayland
Version: 2.14.1-2.fc25 (Fedora 25)

Copy and Paste will fail when the applications are on separate workspaces.  When the applications are on the same workspace copy and paste works fine.

Copying *from* a WebkitGTK+ application *to* another WebkitGTK+ application on a different workspace does not work.

1. Start Evolution on Workspace 1
2. Start Epiphany on Workspace 2
3. Go to workspace 1, select text, context-menu -> copy
4. Go to workspace 2, context-menu -> paste
   ... nothing happens
5. Switch backwards and forwards between workspaces

Paste never happens.

Various applications were tested.  The two WebkitGTK+ applications that were tested were Epiphany and Evolution.  Other applications tested include gedit, gnome-calculator, gnome-terminal, firefox, chrome, konsole, gnome-music, gnome-builder, nautilus, gnome-font-viewer, gnome-shell.

Epiphany fails both on the WebkitGTK+ widget, and on a normal GTK+ widget.  It fails on both web content, and the URL bar.

This probably depends on # 164983.  I was requested to submit separate bug reports.
