Describe the problem you’re observing:
Copy text from chrome-browser by Ctrl+C, cannot paste to TextEditor in Dbeaver.
Steps to reproduce, if exist:
- open chrome-browser and copy something
- check clipboard status
% wl-paste --list-types
text/plain;charset=utf-8
text/plain
- paste in dbeaver text-editor box, paste nothing!
BUT, following Step works 1.
% echo -en "aaaaaa" | wl-copy -t STRING
% wl-paste --list-types
STRING
text/plain
text/plain;charset=utf-8
TEXT
UTF8_STRING
- paste into dbeaver is working~!
