What does the pull request do?
It fixes issue #4320
What is the current behavior?
When calling X11Clipboard.GetTextAsync() in Linux (tested on Debian based), the task runs indefinitely (i.e. awaiting or
.Resultmakes the current thread wait for an event to be handled, which does not happen)What is the updated/expected behavior with this PR?
It returns the text which is in the clipboard without issue.
How was the solution implemented (if it's not obvious)?
It was implemented by skipping all the generic event handling and just handling the event in
X11Clipboarditself (by callingX11Clipboard.OnEvent). The reason for this is that the generic event handling in Avalonia does not catchSelectionEvent. I could not figure out why. I assume it's some X11 issue not properly working with GLib. Either way, it works with my changes andOnEventis still used.Checklist
