Hello,

update on this issue.

The reason why xclip 1.9 didn't behave correctly was that I was using a obsolete version of wl-clipboard (1.0) while the new wl-clipboard 2.0 behaves correctly when called by xclip.

Updating wl-clipboard to a 2.0 release solves the issue (in my case I've installed the package from the next focal fossa 20.04 release).

Unfortunately Ubuntu 19.10 still distributes and old and broken version of wl-clipboard.

Please close this bug as INVALID

Best,
