Just tested it again and weirdly enough it now works. Maybe it was a bug in or triggered by GPaste (a clipboard manager) that's now resolved… Maybe it just happens sometimes and I just had bad luck… no idea…
> What distro are you using?
Happened to be under both Fedora and openSUSE TW, in both cases using GPaste from the distro's repos and now that I think of it, it could have been still under Gnome 3.26, not 3.28 – not sure any longer.
> Make sure not to close the browser tab before pasting, since otherwise paste content is lost. (That's a problem for all apps, and would require changes in mutter to fix.)
X11 desktops have the same problem which is why they usually come with a clipboard manager. Why GPaste functionality is not in Gnome Shell I don't know.
Thanks for the recommendations. But it looks like both GPaste and CopyQ don't integrate well with Wayland.

>But yeah, on wayland, as far as I can there's no way of creating a clipboard manager so for now GPaste forces X11, and (ab)uses mutter's ability to sync the Xwayland and the wayland clipboards
You're probably talking about the GPaste Integration extension. That is not the official GPaste extension and I don't even know why it exists since GPaste ships with its own Gnome Shell extension. More about Gpaste: https://github.com/Keruspe/GPaste
