Remote Input context menu not accessible

ferdnyc opened this issue · comments

Describe the bug

I just noticed that the local context menu of the Remote Input dialog's text-input area can't be used, at least on Wayland, because it dismisses itself before you can select any options.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Remote Input dialog for a paired device.
  2. Copy some text from elsewhere on the system.
  3. Right-click on the Remote Input text area.
  4. Attempt to select "Paste" from the context menu.
  5. Notice that the context menu disappears when you attempt to move the pointer to the "Paste" option.

Expected behavior

The user clicks "Paste" and the copied text is pasted into the dialog.

Notes

The same issue occurs whether the remote keyboard is active on the remote device or not.

Typing Ctrl+V or middle-clicking in the input area (depending how the text was selected/copied) are both effective workarounds for the "Paste" context menu option. Keyboard shortcuts for other options (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, etc.) would presumably also work.

Leaving in "triage" state as it'd be good to get a second confirmation of the problem.
