Bug#1050607: xcb: bookworm xcb won't paste from selected cut buffer

I cannot reproduce this with 2.4-7 under xorg: xcb behaves as
expected.

You state that you use the "standard bookworm Gnome desktop" which
should be using Wayland.  Are you under Wayland?  Because if so then I
suspect the behaviour you observed might be due to Xwayland probably
not implementing Cut Buffers correctly (or at all) -- which would be
unsurprising as they have been a rather obscure/obsolete feature of X
for quite some time.  In that case it would be prudent to look for an
alternative clipboard because I have my doubts that the Xwayland
people would add this feature if one were to ask them to.

If you want to debug this further you should paste the output of

  xprop -root | grep CUT_BUFFER

For me its:

  CUT_BUFFER0(UTF8_STRING) = "foo"
  CUT_BUFFER1(UTF8_STRING) = "bar"
  CUT_BUFFER2(STRING) =
  CUT_BUFFER3(STRING) =
  CUT_BUFFER4(STRING) =
  CUT_BUFFER5(STRING) =
  CUT_BUFFER6(STRING) =
  CUT_BUFFER7(STRING) =
