Bug Description

This is a race and is exacerbated by windowed mode on any device and occurs over 75% of the time. A very poor experience for users of LibreOffice on the tablet.

Also of note, the fix for this issue also indirectly fixes an issue where it originally used a 400ms timer to check window focus, which obviously drains the battery. The timer is no longer used, thus saving battery.

Test case.
- Go to Desktop apps.
- Open LibreOffice Writer.
- Type a text.
- Select all and copy it.
- Open gedit.
- Click on "paste".

Expected result.
- Text is pasted.

Actual result.
- Text is not pasted.

There is a problem copying text from/to LibreOffice from other applications, either X11-apps or Mir apps.

current build number: 180
device name: frieza
channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris-pd.en
