Web apps can paste content copied from themselves.  However, they do not
export the primart selection and they ignore X cut buffers, making it
impossible to copy text between a Web app and any other app.  This is a
huge step backward, to the time of MS-DOS, R.I.P.

Title:
  Can not paste into web forms

Status in Web Browser App:
  Confirmed
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I can copy text from one app, and paste it into the URL field of the
  browser, but I don't get a "Paste" option for input fields in the
  webpage itself.

  I found this when trying to log into an internal website, where SSO
  prompted me to perform 2-factor authentication.  I generated the one
  time password using CanonicalAuth, and was able to copy it into the
  clipboard.  However, I was unable to paste it into the 2fa field in
  the web browser.

  I could paste it into the URL field, so I know it was in the
  clipboard.  When long-pressing on the web form input field, I was
  given a menu with "Share", "Save" and "Copy", but not "Paste".
