Copy paste from outside does not work

Hello,

I am using TeXmacs-2.1.5-x86_64.AppImage within Ubuntu 26.01.1 LTS. I cannot copy paste in or from a .tm file (opened using the AppImage) to or from another software (for example pdf viewer, firefox, etc).
How can I solve this issue?

Many thanks!

Claire

Unfortunately this is a longstanding known bug. It seems to happen only in GNOME on Wayland.

A potential workaround is to run texmacs as ‘QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb texmacs’ from the terminal.

If that fixes it you can make it permanent in the desktop environment by copying the ‘texmacs.desktop’ file to ‘~/.local/share/applications/’, and edit the ‘Exec’ line in it to ‘env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb texmacs’.
