<pre>Copy and paste between applications where either the source or the destination application has a WebkitGTK+ widget can be slow.
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 a any other application requires the source application to be visible after "paste" is actioned. This requires swapping backwards and forwards between workspaces.
1. Start a WebkitGTK+ application (epiphany) on workspace 1.
2. Start a different application (gedit) on workspace 2.
3. Go to workspace 1, and select text, context-menu -> copy.
4. Go to workspace 2, context-menu -> paste
... nothing happens.
5. Go back to workspace 1 (do nothing)
... text has been pasted
6. Go to workspace 2, confirm pasted text.
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.
