--- Comment #31 from pallaswept <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #30) > if you can find a consistently reproducible case for it. That's the problem, like everyone else here and the stack of reporters on reddit that led me here to try and help out, it's (seemingly) random. That's why I hadn't reported it yet. The only really consistent thing is that we have copied a screenshot with spectacle and randomly can't paste it because it seems like there's nothing in the clipboard. That's been interpreted as having not copied the image at all, which is the intuitive explanation, but descriptions like above and mine, suggest that it actually is copied... but then doesn't save, or is cleared, or something along those lines. It's especially difficult for me to pin down any kind of reproducible pattern, because of this behaviour. I don't always paste with ctrl+v or whatever, very often I am pasting by selecting the clip from copyq. Because that doesn't fail, I'm not even testing for this bug every time I copy paste, so a lot of failures will be transparent to me. Hard to form a pattern with holes in the data. But there's definitely something going on: Bugzilla: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509065 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507792 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506781 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500366 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484907 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480448 Reddit this month: https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1oxzsiv/spectacle_not_copying_to_clipboard/ https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1pfp29x/spectacle_bug_is_killing_me/ https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1p9mlhv/is_it_just_me_or_is_spectacle_kinda_slow_and_buggy/ These links (and their dupes) all describe the bug/bugs as some variation of "clipped an empty thing" but, it strikes me as worth pointing out the reports that the clip does show up in clipboard managers (eg clipper and copyq), which implies that spectacle is not "clipping an empty thing", but in fact, clipping the correct thing, and it's somehow not in the clipboard afterward, so that it could be pasted. Anyway... It seems to be a problematic bug to solve and I thought that maybe a bit of extra info might help. I'm not really trying to file a proper bug report yet, I don't have enough concrete info to file a bug report, but nobody else does either... So I'm just trying to help out by sharing this info. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
