Linux/X11
When e.g. using "Copy link address", QtWebEngine calls QMimeData::setUrls, which results in setting text/uri-list and text/x-moz-url in the clipboard:
$ xclip -sel clipboard -o -t TARGETS | while read t; do [[ "$t" != TARGETS ]] && echo "$t: $(xclip -o -t "$t" -sel clipboard)"; done text/plain: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ UTF8_STRING: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ STRING: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ TEXT: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ text/html: <a href="https://code.qt.io/cgit/"></a> text/uri-list: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ text/x-moz-url: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ [...]
However, both Chromium and Firefox do no such thing - for comparison:
STRING: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ UTF8_STRING: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ TEXT: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ text/plain: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ text/plain;charset=utf-8: https://code.qt.io/cgit/ [...]
This seems to cause compatibility issues depending on where the content is pasted to. When e.g. trying to paste it in Signal Desktop (which seems to use Electron), nothing happens, while copying from Chromium and Firefox works fine.
