Hi. @Oliver Sauder (sao). I think I have the same kind of issue. I'll hold off reporting a bug to see if you confirm to me this is the same, also I'm new to reporting bugs here, so if you see this message, you can respond so I know this is a good way to talk here. I'm on a totally standard, updated, free, stable Ubuntu installation, gnome version 42.9, windowing system: wayland.

The 5 points he mentioned apply to me (point 3 in particular makes it quite less usable, every paste takes the diodon shortcut (which I made work with the link in the hotkeys tab, that's great), a click selecting which text, until know it would be great, but because it doesn't paste it demands an additional ctrl+v), in fact they apply on many apps: "gnome terminal" (the default one, the "about" says: Version 3.44.0 for GNOME 42, A terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop
Using VTE version 0.68.0 +BIDI +GNUTLS +ICU +SYSTEMD), firefox, any app from libre office, gedit, and on the standard "Ubuntu settings", which, I assume because I'm a noob (it takes a lot of work to even write this report, I don't imagine how much it will take to fix the bug) some of these are a "wayland app".
It does work on: chrome, vlc (installed from the snap-store) for example pasting in an open file menu it works well.

Update: Very interesting: I have just tried CopyQ, believe it or not, it demonstrates an identical failure! It succeeds/fails to paste into the same apps as Diodon does. I found this comment (and many others if you search on the open issues "wayland" like here https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/2342) by it's dev, https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/2136#issuecomment-1304754236 it references a possible workaround I'll try it. Is it possible an analog workaround like this could also fix Diodon?
