Clipboard Not Shared Between Cursor and System (Linux AppImage)

Bug Reports
1

Description:
When launching Cursor via AppImage on i3 Linux, the clipboard does not integrate with the system. Copying text inside Cursor does not paste outside, and vice versa.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Download Cursor AppImage (Cursor-0.46.11-ae378be9dc2f5f1a6a1a220c6e25f9f03c8d4e19.deb.glibc2.25-x86_64.AppImage).
  2. Launch it on i3 (./Cursor.AppImage).
  3. Copy text inside Cursor and try pasting it outside (e.g., terminal or another app).
  4. Copy text from an external app and try pasting it inside Cursor.

Expected Behavior:
The clipboard should work seamlessly between Cursor and the system.

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS x86_64
  • Kernel: 6.8.0-52-generic
  • WM: i3
  • Device: ThinkPad T14 Gen 4
