[Bug 1475719] [NEW] Copying text to clipboard randomly fails half of the times

 

Public bug reported:

Around 50% of the times (very rough estimation) that I copy something,
regardless of whether it is via Ctrl+C or by right-click+copy (from
whatever application), it randomly fails to copy, so when I paste, I
paste whatever was the last-but-one thing that I had copied before.

As a workaround, I hysterically hit Ctrl+C like a dozen times almost
every time I want to copy something.
