[Bug 1316885] [NEW] Unable to copy or paste from outside applications on 'webbrowser-app'

 

Public bug reported:

It's not possible to copy or paste from/to the new 'webbrowser-app',
this is particularly annoying since now 'webbrowser-app' is the default
renderer for 'webapps' (so it basically breaks the only thing that was
working on webapps).

How to test:

1) open gedit (or any other application)
2) write some text
3) select it and copy it (Ctrl+C, right clicking, etc)
4) open webrowser-app or any webapp
4) attempt to paste the copied text into any field in webbrowser-app

Expected result: 
The text gets copied into a field in webbrowser-app

Result:
Nothing
