This sounds like a bug in Sway

[ZJaume]

Sure? Sway log says [xwayland/selection/incoming.c:399] denying write access to clipboard: no xwayland surface focused, it seems a problem with Wayland.

This rather looks like a problem of sharing clipboard contents between Wayland and XWayland windows. Starting with 2.5, KeePassXC is running as a native Wayland client again.

I commented this issue on Sway and it seems to happen due to the security policy on wayland. If the Windows is not focused it cannot acces clipboard. Maybe it's a problem with like #2281.

Edit: I also noticed that AutoType is not working for me. I don't think it's a problem with XWayland windows because it's also happening with termite (Wayland native terminal).

Auto-Type does not work with Wayland at all
