X11 forwarding - pasting works one way only
ssh'ing from Arch to a Debian box with X11 forwarding, I am only able to copy/paste text from local windows to remote windows, but not the other way around.
I tried searching for an answer, but perhaps I am just not using the right terms.
Thank you for any pointers.

Re: X11 forwarding - pasting works one way only
I see something a little bit similar to this with using SSH and my Linux phone... Does is happen with every application or just one speciic one?
When you say "copy / paste" do you mean "Ctrl + C / V" or "select / middle click"?

It happens with every application.
I was referring to select and middle-click. However, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V exhibit the same behavior: they only work in the local-remote direction.
