I am using Gnome on Wayland and the classical Linux method using
highlight to copy and middle click to paste works, too, however on my computer, I am experiencing the following behaviour:

I am not sure, if that is a bug or a feature, but it does not bother me in any way.

OK, this seems to work.  But, it also seems to reveal that there are 2 clip boards in use under
wayland.

Doing what you suggests does put the text in the systray clipboard and then using Ctrl-V
in Thunderbird does past.  But the "paste" key on my trackball pastes text previously highlighted
within Firefox (for example).

It can be confusing to me to have to remember 2 methods depending on what apps I'm using.
Would be nice if this were unified.
