Copy-and-paste getting the wrong text

I've had a lot of trouble the past few days copying-and-pasting text from other tabs into talk edit windows. Sometimes when I Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V I don't get what I just copied but instead I get whatever I last highlighted with the mouse. (I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu Linux, where there are two copy-and-paste buffers, one activated by the keyboard and one by the mouse.) In order to transfer the needed text, sometimes I have to paste it into Emacs and then highlight it with the mouse and try again. -- Beland (talk) 16:51, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm having this problem too. It's been almost unusable in the past few weeks because copy and paste is so broken. I'm also using Linux but with Chromium-based browsers.
