* Scripts that use the [[#async-clipboard-api]] to write to the clipboard
* Actions that update the clipboard outside the user agent
- If the clipboard contents are changed outside the user agent, then the
- {{GlobalEventHandlers/clipboardchange}} event MUST fire when the user agent regains focus.
+ <div class="algorithm" data-algorithm="fire-clipboardchange-event">
+ <h5 id="h-fire-clipboardchange-event">To fire a clipboardchange event</h5>
+
+ To <dfn export>fire a clipboardchange event</dfn> given a {{Document}} <var>document</var>:
+
+ 1. If <var>document</var> does not have [=sticky activation=] and <var>document</var> does not have permission to read from the clipboard, then return.
+
+ 2. Let <var>global</var> be <var>document</var>'s [=relevant global object=].
+
+ 3. If <var>document</var> has [=system focus=]:
+ 1. Let <var>types</var> be a list of [=mandatory data types=] available on the [=system clipboard=].
+ 2. Let <var>changeId</var> be a unique identifier for this clipboard change, generated by applying a partition-specific transformation to a system-level clipboard change identifier, ensuring that different [=partitions=] receive different identifiers for the same clipboard change while maintaining consistency within the same [=partition=].
Thanks Anne and Luke. The PR is now updated as per the recent discussions.
