Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

When I copy in Micro it doesn't go in the clipboard.
Therefore I cannot copy from Micro, it works only internally.
I have wl-clipboard installed.

I also tried terminal, instead of the default (external).
I have this error when pasting: No clipboard received from terminal.

On another machine with similar enviroment I don't have this problem.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Micro on Artix Linux with Hyprland and Tilix, testing both the external and terminal clipboard modes. Compare behavior with the other machine and verify that copying reaches the system clipboard and that pasting no longer reports “No clipboard received from terminal”.
