Following on from #2595, pasting no longer hangs but instead is completely ignored if a target is defined - even when that target is plain text - resulting in no data being pasted. That's fine if the content is an image for example, but less convenient for text.

Affected Version

Alacritty 0.3.3 (a3f56a5 or newer) on Linux with i3/X11

Replicating

• Copy with echo "primary" | xclip -selection primary -t text/plain
• Use middle mouse to paste in Alacritty
• Copy with echo "clipboard" | xclip -selection clipboard -t text/plain
• Use ctrl+shift+v to paste in Alacritty

Note that using xclip -o to paste directly will always work, with or without -target passed. This seems to be what Alacritty did via std::process::Command before the switch to x11-clipboard.

Relevant Config

mouse_bindings:
  - { mouse: Middle, action: PasteSelection }
key_bindings:
