Bug Description

I've noticed this mostly on chrome, but I've noticed it on libreoffice writer too. Every so often when I click on the page (often when changing windows), information from my clipboard is PASTED down!

This is a serious privacy concern, and I hope this is addressed. Thank you.

Also, I have no clue why it says gnome is "not installed" in my bug report. I am using the version of gnome included by default in ubuntu.
