SUMMARY
When "Keep the selection and clipboard the same", then selecting anything in emacs often results in empty string to be selected instead. No problem observed if "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" left blank.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In clipboard, check the box "Keep the selection and clipboard the same"
2. Doubleclick on a word in emacs to select it
3. Attempt to paste it into another application (or even elsewhere in emacs itself)

OBSERVED RESULT
Often, nothing is pasted (or sometimes the previous selection)
However, if "Text Selection->Always save in history" is also checked, the selected text is still stored in the history

EXPECTED RESULT
Selected word should be pasted.

Dear Maintainer,

I can confirm the same aggravating behavior with several apps, including xterm.  Blank line often
inserted to clipboard after selection.

Running X11 session instead of wayland is the only workaround I found so far.

Clipboard has to be reliable, very important.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just inquiring whether there is anything new about this issue.

Sorry for this mail, but since the online issue tracker is broken, I
can't check this for myself.

Thanks,

Alain
