I cannot copy/paste using keybinds (ctrl+c/ctrl+v) in steam, it does however work to right click and press "copy" and right click and press "paste"

If i try to use keybinds the results may vary and are a bit unpredictable (often just nothing happens, often after a delay something else than what i intended to comes out.)

I can use the ctrl+c keybind to copy from steam to other software (via ctrl+v or right click), but not from other software to steam.

This is really annoying and i feel it must be fixed.

If further information is needed i'm running current version of Arch Linux using Openbox as a window manager, my hardware is intel-i series and an nvidia GTX 600 series gpu as well as 24GB of ram.

Edit: I found that if i copy a text and paste it (with mouse or keybinds) from outside of steam, if i paste it twice inside of steam (regardless of method) i will get the intended text in the latter attempt, but not the former.
