- const auto formats = data->formats();
- for (auto format : formats) {
- newData->setData(format, data->data(format));

+ newData->setText(data->text());
+ } else {
+ qCDebug(KRDP) << "Ignoring non-text clipboard update with formats"
<< data->formats();
}
Q_EMIT clipboardDataChanged(newData);
Summary of changes:
- clipboard owners may advertise safe text formats plus problematic side
formats
- KRDP eagerly fetches everything
- after the changes, KRDP only fetches plain text when available
- that avoids the blocking format fetches and fixes the freeze
- KRDP’s current RDP clipboard implementation only advertises and transfers
plain text (CF_UNICODETEXT), so fetching non-text MIME payloads provides no
benefit to clients and only adds risk of blocking on expensive or problematic
clipboard targets like SAVE_TARGETS.
This patch produces the following debug output when copying from applications
that previously caused the freeze:

"UTF8_STRING", "COMPOUND_TEXT", "TEXT", "text/plain", "STRING", "SAVE_TARGETS")
