WoW & Copy/Paste

I have tried digging around, a lot, to find this, but I don’t see it anywhere. Maybe I just am looking for the wrong search terms.

I cannot copy/paste in or out of WoW. I have Battle.net installed in Lutris, and when I attempt to copy or paste text in or out of WoW, nothing (I mean not a thing) happens. This is somewhat annoying. For the most part, I’ve been able to work around it (I edit my macros and settings for plugins through their respective text files directly), but the new talent tree system means it is possible to get a string (or want to share a string) with a code that will set talents to a particular configuration. But right now, I cannot do this.

Anyone else have this problem? Even better, has anyone figured out the solution to it?

I am on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jellyfish), if that makes a difference. Thanks for any help.

I have exactly the same problem - I would like to import an ElvUI profile - but I have not found a solution so far

Still haven’t found a solution for this.

Seems like it is some kind of issue with wine, likely because Bnet is launched in Wine, and then WoW (or other games) are launched from Bnet, and don’t seem to get the copy/paste configuration handled correctly.

Note: Copy/Paste works for Bnet itself, just not for any game started from Bnet.
