--- Comment #1 from Jonas Ådahl <jadahl at gmail.com> ---
This is the intended behavior; it's by design that arbitrary clients cannot
eaves drop on keys from other clients. The reason why it happens to work
sometimes is that GTK2 clients still use X11, meaning the eaves dropping still
works when interacting with X11 clients via Xwayland. When focusing a GTK3
client, it connects via Wayland, and as a result, Xwayland will not be able to
broadcast input to all clients wanting it any more, since it wont see the input
events at all.

In Wayland, the clipboard manager has to be part of the compositor.
