Pasting just types "v" on GNOME 49

[zsolt-donca]

Description

Pasting through pano just types v instead of actually pasting anything. I am on GNOME 49 on Arch using the latest git build (7a27512)

Problem Explanation

Pasting doesn't work as it used to on GNOME 48. Affects all applications as far as I can tell. If I keep pressing CTRL, then the actual contents are pasted instead of just a v getting typed.

Expected Behavior

Pano should paste the selected item from the clipboard history into applications such as web browsers or text editors.

Reprodution

How one can find the bug?

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open a text editor
2. Copy some things to fill up the clipboard history
3. Paste something with Pano
4. Observe that Pano just typed v.

Oh shit, I didn't have a gnome 49 installation, so I didn't test #370 on a live system, as the changes in gnome 49 are minor and shoudln't break anything, I'll investigate this

I believe that this might be a more generic problem on GNOME 49: gnome-clipboard-history does not work either, and KeePassXC's auto-type does not type uppercase letters either, making me think that modifier keys somehow don't work. For the record, KeePassXC's autotype works only when the app is run through xwayland, and requires a prompt to allow remote desktop.

EDIT: I am pretty sure this issue is caused by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4353

Yes this could really be the case, so we just have to wait 😓

As This issue was resolved, It should work, I am using Ubuntu 25.10 with gnome 49.0 and it works for me 🤔
