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

[Gabor Szabo]

I noticed I have similar issues while trying to copy from the terminal.
Highlight then Ctrl-Shift-C. Ctlr-Shift-V works in the terminal and pastes
it, but Ctrl-V in other applications freeze the other app for a few seconds
and the paste does not work.

Earlier I tried a reboot. It worked for a while then it stopped.

Yesterday I tried logout/login and it has been working since then.

Now my guess is that there might be some key combination that starts this
behaviour. Really strange.
