### Problem description

This is my first time posting an issue on Git Hub for this project, if I have missed anything please let me know.
Hi all, I have been using Freecad on Linux and after creating a body I wanted to copy and paste it like I have been able to do so on windows. but I have found that I am getting an error.

Here is the error I am seeing for it whenever I try to copy and paste through the context menu or shortcut keys.

```
20:13:43 (qt.qpa.clipboard) QXcbClipboard::setMimeData: Cannot set X11 selection owner

```

I can copy and paste text normally but trying to do so on a body causes this. I have a hunch it is because of Wayland and XWaylandBridge Issues, though Im not 100% sure on this.
I have attached a video of this in action. I tried both context and shortcuts to copy but it still happens.
