Copy/paste is broken in wine on Gnome
I use wine to run a few applications like notepad++.
Copy/cut/paste seems to be broken in wine applications.
Example:
1. Run notepad++ in wine.
2. Copy some text.
3. Paste it. It usually works the first time.
4. Copy some more text.
5. Paste again. No text is pasted, but a ping sound is played.
The same problem appears in other wine applications too.
It does not matter if you copy with Ctrl+C or the context menu. However if you hit Ctrl+C mutiple times, it mostly works (but not always).
I have this problem on 2 systems:
1) Ubuntu 20.04 Focal on X11, Ryzen 7 2600X, 32GB, Nvidia RTX2060
2) Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy on Wayland, Core i5-8250U, 8GB, Intel UHD Graphics 620
However, I do not have this problem when running Kubuntu 20.04 which leads me to believe it is a problem with Gnome.
Wine version: wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1)
