Title:
  Webapps don't use system clipboard

Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Pasting text copied form outside of a webapp is impossible. Similary,
  copying text from a webapp and trying to paste it into another
  application (e.g. GEdit) doesn't work, as webbrowser-app (used to run
  webapps) doesn't seem to use the system clipboard, but has a local
  clipboard for each webbrowser-app window.

  Copying text from one webapp (e.g. Gmail) into another one (e.g.
  Google Plus) also doesn't work.

  Copying and pasting only works within one webapp/webbrowser-app
  window, i.e. each webapp (webbrowser-app window) seems to have its own
  clipboard.

  Test case:
  1. Open a webapp (e.g. Gmail)
  2. Select text by double-clicking and copy it by pressing [ctrl]+[c]
  3. Try pasting it in GEdit, e.g. with [ctrl]+[c], or with [shift]+[insert], or with middle-click (i.e. from the X clipboard)

  Expected result:
  Text copied from the webapp is pasted into GEdit

  Actual result:
  Text previously copied from outside of any web app (e.g. from Firefox) is pasted instead.

  Analogous test cases apply for copying from GEdit (or another non-
  webapp) into a webapp and between webapps. All fail in similar ways,
  however between webapps, it's the content of  a webapp's local
  clipboard that's pasted.
