Description dev.webkit 2022-09-22 15:21:18 PDT 
In any text area or input field where I can right-click & select 'paste', which works, the Xf86Paste keysym does not.

That is, I have a keybinding for Xf86Paste, but where webkit2gtk is used that does not work; I have to right-click and paste instead.

First experienced with a Tauri-based application I'm developing; suspected by that project's maintainers as a webkit2gtk bug, and verified with Gnome Epiphany using wekbkit2gtk-4.1 v2.36.7 on (Arch) Linux.
