Yes, the clipboard issue is due to the isolation between application windows |
| 18 |
for security reasons. It should also stop keyloggers having a go at my |
| 19 |
typing. Annoying nonetheless, I hadn't realised how much I use the middle- |
| 20 |
click clipboard feature! Selecting text with the mouse, then using right- |
| 21 |
click Copy (or Ctrl+c) and right-click Paste (Ctrl+v) works, as a long winded |
| 22 |
alternative. |

I wonder if the message preview pane problem in Kmail is also caused by the |
| 25 |
same wayland window isolation? Hmm ... |
