Yes, it worked. I noticed this because I had been able to paste to firefox's
address bar URLs that I copied wit BRLTTY from console.

Anyhow, the change that broke Firefox & LibreOffice pasting could have
happened anywhere, I'm not saying that something in BRLTTY was changed.

Ok, thanks for the information. Maybe Wayland does it differently.

I have tried Window$ 98 a few times, but probably I did not use its clipboard.
The experience was so bad, that continued to use DOS before I switched to
GNU/Linux. I have to admit though, that I had prejudices towards Window$ and
maybe I did not give it a fair chance.
