clipboard - putty style paste - copy using external app - cant paste into terminator

[flipkickmedia]

Before opening an issue, please try starting terminator with an empty config
file, by issuing terminator -u -g /dev/null and see if it starts normally.

If it does, and you still want to open the bug, then please attach the
config file, usually found at $HOME/.config/terminator/config to the issue

Fill out as many of these fields as you can

Describe the bug
When PuTTY paste is activated, other apps don't see this clipboard content.

To Reproduce
I have VSCode open, when I copy something (ctrl+x or using the menu) I am unable to paste this into terminator using the right mouse button.

If I select some text in terminator I am able to press the right mouse button and paste into another terminator, even if this is inside another window. If I move over to VSCode, the previous clipboard content is pasted.

Tried with no config. Same result.

Expected behavior
Id like to be able to select and then paste this into another window, in this case VSCode and vice versa

I understand there are two clipboards, can we keep both of them synced please when PuTTy style paste is activated?

The reason for that is that, when pasting using right-click, you are pasting the Primary Selection. That is usually filled with text selected using the mouse.

I understand there are two clipboards, can we keep both of them synced please when PuTTy style paste is activated?

What I suggest you do is select Clipboard for PuTTY style paste, so that the right-click pastes the Clipboard's contents.
That solves the pasting part, but you can also copy directly to the Clipboard when selecting text. (Preferences > Profiles > General > Copy on selection)
This way, Terminator will only use the Clipboard.

As long as any other application copies to the Clipboard, that should be enough.
