The files are not present in the patch. Both gtk20 and gtk30. Did you forget to |svn add| before |svn diff|?
Sorry, will fix. Created attachment 148459 [details]

Patches need to be rebased after Gnome 3.14.1 landed in ports r372768. And it seems they're different from those in upstream bug. Created attachment 149715 [details]
x11-toolkits/gtk30, upstream version
The implementation from that bug + shift-insert fix from here. files/patch-gnome-bug643391 is applied unconditionally as it only provides "paste-selection" for custom keybindings. Notable difference is being able to bind GDK_SELECTION_SECONDARY.

With www/firefox both versions work fine in open/save dialog and fail elsewhere: (firefox:61133): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_clipboard: assertion 'gtk_widget_has_screen (widget)' failed (firefox:61133): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_request_text: assertion 'clipboard != NULL' failed or (GTK3 option) (firefox:61465): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_clipboard: assertion 'gtk_widget_has_screen (widget)' failed (firefox:61465): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_request_text: assertion 'clipboard != NULL' failed Been working fine here, so far.

Positions to patch have changed again
The problem with this patch is, in some programs for whatever reason it still does not work, likely because they use own key bindings. And GNOME folks, as well as some authors of GTK-based programs are never going to admit there is a problem with that. In case someone stumbles upon this, there are two workarounds that are better than the solution: they work across all GUI toolkits, as not only GTK seems to suffer from the same problem. A) Sync primary selection and clipboard manually. Assign window manager key bindings for x11/xsel-conrad (x11/xsel might work, too): $ xsel -p | xsel -b -i # Copy from primary to clipboard $ xsel -b | xsel -p -i # Copy from clipboard to primary B) Sync automatically. This seems the best way. Has been around since at least 2009, but for some reason is rarely if ever mentioned: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=22682 . Run two instances of deskutils/autocutsel: $ autocutsel -selection CLIPBOARD -fork $ autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork |
