Is your issue REALLY a bug?
- My issue is indeed a bug!
- I am not crazy! I will not fill out this form just to ask a question or request a feature. Pinky promise.
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues.
Is this issue related to iced?
- My hardware is compatible and my graphics drivers are up-to-date.
What happened?
After https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/pull/3238 due to https://github.com/1Password/arboard/issues/223 on compositors that don't support ext-data-control-v1 (e.g. Mutter) and wayland only clients clipboard is effectively dead.
https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/pull/2156 may help if it ends up in winit, but otherwise what pop os did (smithay-clipboard with custom mime support) might be a solution...
What is the expected behavior?
Clipboard to work on Mutter & wayland only.
Version
