Description

GTK 2 applications can be blocked from using the primary clipboard selection. It is useful when only legacy GTK 2 apps should be prevented from automatic selection clipboard access.

Clipboard behavior changes can surprise applications and users. Test common copy-and-paste workflows after enabling it.
