Why is it, that some applications (namely Firefox and VSCode) seems to place the current selection into the buffer that is accessed with the middle Mouse Button and not the one accessed by Shift+ins, used anywhere else.

It seems usually selecting places the content into both buffers, but just not in platform ignorant builds…

This often breaks my work flow. Any idea on how to fix this?

    If you merge CLIPBOARD and PRIMARY, every time you select text, you’ll wipe out the contents of CLIPBOARD. You won’t be able to copy text, then do any work that involves selecting text, then paste.
