Hi everyone,

After the latest system update, copy-paste started causing apps to freeze and crash. Here's what's happening:

Symptoms:

  • Copy text from browser → paste into IntelliJ IDEA
  • First paste attempt freezes the app for a few seconds, nothing gets pasted
  • Switching to another app/workspace causes the frozen app to crash
  • Screen freezes during the crash

What I checked:

  • At first I thought it was IntelliJ/JetBrains since their latest update mentioned Wayland fixes
  • But it happens with all apps, including COSMIC Terminal
  • So it's a system-level issue, not app-specific

System context:

  • Running on Wayland
  • Issue started right after the latest system update

Has anyone else experienced this? Any known fixes or workarounds? It's making the system pretty much unusable for daily work.

Thanks in advance!
