Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I installed micro on Fedora 32 Workstation. I use micro on Wayland. I have installed wl-clipboard. But I cannot copy paste between micro and other applications. Only the internal clipboard works.
I removed micro, installed wl-clipboard, then installed micro, rebooted but it still did not work.
