Description Snir Sheriber 2017-08-13 11:12:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

When trying to copy some large selection of text (>65536) using PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD selections from guest and paste it in the client, text will be cut off after 65536 bytes.

Components:
guest: fedora 26 working with gnome wayland
spice-vdagent 0.17.0
Client machine is fedora 25 (using xorg)
spice-gtk 0.34-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to guest (with wayland)
2. Open large text file (>65536) e.g using gedit
3. Select all (ctrl+a) [and copy]
4. Paste or middle click into gedit (or any other text editor)

Results:
Copied text was trimmed

Seems some Wayland adjustments are needed.

Notes
* Copy and paste inside the guest works.
* Copy and paste from a fedora 26 guest using xorg to client works

Not a bug in spice, see:

[0] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1
[1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/1

Both issues have been resolved.
Tested on Rawhide with gtk3-3.22.29-1.fc29, mutter-3.28.0-1.fc29 and spice-vdagent works as it's supposed to.
