Bug#842423: gnome-terminal: Regression? gnome-terminal copies text to the wrong X display, but pastes from the correct one

[Robert Ou]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.22.0-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After updating packages, I discovered that I was unable to copy/paste
properly in gnome-terminal. After experimenting, I discovered that this
was related to how my system has two X displays (e.g. :0 and :1) at the
same time. If gnome-terminal is launched on display :1, it somehow
manages to copy text onto the clipboard of display :0. However, pasting
text will paste the text from the clipboard of display :1. This makes it
impossible to use copy/paste in gnome-terminal in any sane way because
copied text can no longer be pasted in the same window where the text was
originally copied from. A gnome-terminal launched on display :0 copy/pastes
correctly (from and to the clipboard of display :0).
