Copy and paste when on wayland and Gnome stops working some of the time. 

I have noticed this when copying text out of gedit and into other apps. It
works then it stops, i.e. you copy a block of text and try a paste it into a
different app and the buffer is empty, nothing copies. Save, exit gedit reopen
and it works again for a while. I have noticed it doing this with gedit to
firefox and gedit to LibreOffice Writer. When this happens and I tey and paste
into LibreOffice Writer, writer just get a busy spinner but not text is copied. 

Maybe issue with wayland native app to X11 app? As when this happens I can
still copy and paste in gedit itself and another gedit window.

When this happens and I try and paste into LibreOffice Writer, writer just get
a busy spinner but not text is copied.

This is in the logs when it happens.

gedit[2089]: Error writing selection data: Error writing to file descriptor:
Broken pipe

I raised this bug with the Fedora.
