Copy & Paste Broken for Files & Japanese Text?

Support Software & Applications
1

Ever since the last update, copy and paste of files hasn’t worked the way it used to.

If I go into Dolphin, and copy 2 files and try and paste them in a local folder somewhere else, I get a menu saying “Choose name for clipboard contents” dialog.

Something similar happens when trying to copy and paste Japanese text. Such as ここです will be pased as ???.

What’s the best way to fix this? Or how can I file a bug report.

You have to set the proper locales on your system. Uncomment ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen then run sudo locale-gen from terminal, reboot the system.
