[vim/vim] GVim does not lose selection ownership and does not use VisualNOS when it should (Issue #19914)
依云
lilydjwg created an issue (vim/vim#19914)Steps to reproduce
- start GVim and
set clipboard=autoselect - select some text. Vim now owns the primary selection
- select some text in another application so that Vim no longer owns the selection
- Vim still uses Visual instead of VisualNOS, indicating it owns the selection but it doesn't actually. This leads me to expect wrong text when pasting.
- Also, in this should-be-VisualNOS mode, if I middle click to paste text into Vim, Vim regains the selection ownership and pastes Vim's selection despite no copy intention is expressed by the user.
Since 8b009a3. This bug made confused me several times in the past.
Expected behaviour
VisualNOS is properly used and no automatically regain ownership of selection.
Version of Vim
9.2.280
Environment
Arch Linux, GTK GUI on Wayfire Wayland compositor.

lilydjwg left a comment (vim/vim#19914)I notice #19752 but it doesn't work for Wayland as gui_mch_get_display returns NULL for Wayland.

lilydjwg left a comment (vim/vim#19914)Yes, I opened #20057 for it. (Primary selection is so easy to lose that I didn't think this is a bug in Vim before.)
