Bug#1014051: gtk+3.0: Unable to select items from a file dialog in a Wayland session

[Maurizio Avogadro]

Source: gtk+3.0
Version: 3.24.34-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

trying to select a file name by clicking an item from a file selection list or
even by typing the file name in the box results in this error (example from
pdfarranger file import dialog; the same happens on the file export dialog):

(pdfarranger:147955): Gdk-WARNING **: 13:40:24.960:
../../../../../gdk/wayland/gdkselection-wayland.c:280: error reading selection
buffer: Operation was cancelled

After such error there is no way to close the file selection dialog: even the
"cancel" button doesn't work anymore and the only way to quit the application
is by killing it.

This happens on this environment:
- Debian up-to-date testing
- KDE Plasma v5.24.5 (Wayland session)

Under a X11 session file selection works as expected.
