Ctrl+Shift+V and right click context menu “Paste” works correctly.

Better idea, let’s just set the primary clip too (Shift + Insert pulls from there). It seems to work fine in the terminal.

I’m curious, where does Ctrl + Shift + V not work?

In my case, it’s most places. Just some examples:

• Firefox (location bar; any text field either in the browser chrome or in web content)
• GNOME Files (search; location bar)
