Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Copy some text from somewhere, then select some text in micro that you intend to replace by pasting. Micro will instead replace your clipboard contents with the text you just selected, doing nothing when you paste.
Specifications
Commit hash: 225927b9
OS: arch
Terminal: foot
Running on wayland with wl-clipboard and wl-clipboard-x11
This wasn't a problem in the past and I believe related to the new clipboard library being used.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the paste failure in micro on Wayland with foot, wl-clipboard, and wl-clipboard-x11, using commit 225927b9 as the reference. Trace the clipboard library integration and determine how selection currently replaces the clipboard; done means selecting text no longer overwrites copied text before a paste.
