I've been using GTK3 based gretl for years - without any problems.
Recently, I decided to move from the very old X11 graphics to Wayland
and I encountered the following two problems:
1. Drag-and-drop actions don't work (neither for scripts nor data).
2. Clipboard is one-directional: I can copy raw text from the operating
system to gretl, but I cannot copy anything from gretl to operating
system (scripts, results).
I don't think this is a gretl issue. Try googling "gtk3 wayland drag
and drop" for a number of problem reports. At least you should be
using the very latest gtk3, but even then it could be "work in
progress" on the gtk side.
(I for one am not at all ready to discard Xorg's X11 implementation in
favor of Wayland. X11 is old, stable and extremely well tested.
Wayland, not so much.)
