On Linux, JUCE has always used the wrong X11 selection for pasting. Pasting using either Ctrl+V or by right clicking and pasting from the context menu will currently (as of JUCE 6.0.8) insert text stored from the PRIMARY
selection, i.e. the selection containing text the user has last highlighted/selected. Instead, pasting should be done from the CLIPBOARD
selection, as mentioned in this specification.
The current behavior mostly causes issues for plugins with text fields for entering serial numbers or passwords. Those are often directly copied from a website or password manager without being visible to the user, and thus they will end up in the CLIPBOARD
selection but not in PRIMARY
.
