Copy-Paste from Firefox 88.0.1 not working properly on Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo)

[Michael Shiloh]

I'm also on 21.04. Copying from FF to a terminal and to email seems to work
fine.

Probably unrelated, but I first upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04. Everything
seemed fine until I tried to use my Arduino, and found that the serial
ports no longer worked. After some discussion with Arduino and Ubuntu
forums I decided to do a fresh install of 21.04, and now serial ports work.
(I would have liked to understand this problem but I'm on a deadline to get
some Arduino work done).

Like I said, probably unrelated. But if you get desperate try a fresh
install (I know, that's a real kludge, like power cycling to see if a
problem goes away)
