Hello,
I have the same random issue after the upgrade on a Linux Mint 21 system. The clipboard manager (CopyQ) starts detecting the texts copied from Windows programs as “<DATA>”, and I can not paste them.
Sometimes it starts working again after using the copy/paste shortcut keys (Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V) instead of the context menu.
Hope this could be fixed.
Regards
Does it make a difference which program you copy from? Does notepad work? (Notepad can be started using Run Command.)
I have the same issue when copying from MS Office 2016 Word or Excel and pasting into Gmail in Chrome, Wordpress, terminal or other applications. I can paste into LibreOffice Writer and Files. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V or Ctrl+Shift+V do not appear to make any difference.
I'm having the same issue. The major applications I use are Scrivener 3 Aeon Timeline 3.0. Both worked without any issue in Crossover 21 on Fedora 36 (with the minor tweak of the speech SAPI in Scrivener). I had to uninstall v21 to get v22 to install. Afterward, cut and paste would no longer work seamlessly between the two applications or between them and LibreOffice. I had to use a text editor to make it work (xed, in my case).
I ended up uninstalling v22 due to terrible performance issues (it made Aeon Timeline almost unusable) and reinstalling v21. Unfortunately, whatever changes v22 makes to the bottles were not undone after the reinstall and copy/paste still did not work. Only after I restored my previous bottles did copy & paste return to working order.
