Such does not exist. The data is transferred between clients on request,
using the PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD selection.

Check if every client (all applications) are affected.
If so, retry by explaining what you're trying to do.
If not, is simply a bug in the affected clients (or toolkit) - you
report a bug there.

(Ifff you're referring to the primary selection, ie. pasting w/ mmb, and
it fails everywhere, run "xev -event mouse | grep button" and ensure the
button is number "2".)
