Is copying fixed? Last I checked it seems you cannot copy-paste in many cases with wayland. There are clipboard managers for wayland that solve this but not entirely (such as in a vm, keeping formating, other edge cases IIRC). Hearing about this issue has made my never consider switching to wayland. Is this still the case?

It worked fine for me four months ago, but now I can't copy from Chrome to any other app (or vice versa) again. :-/

    I have a small mini-rant about copy/paste in modern software. copy/paste was a solved problem 20 years ago, yet nowadays it's always a crapshot as to whether or not you copied what you think you did, etc. I've had websites insert non-printing characters into text and it will take forever to find it.

What you ran into is possibly the "security" behavior of Wayland regarding the clipboard. Basically the clipboard is attached to your focus (or mouse?) and only the active window is allowed to read the clipboard. …which completely breaks any workflow that relies on observing the clipboard from a second application while using another…

Nope! Not in my VM. vm tools dont support wayland copy, nor screen resize. Works in X
