We've found that people reporting this problem seem to be running
clipboard managers.Note that the KDE one is called klippy.

So my first guess was that this is

Liam mentioned clipboard managers not as a cause of your problem, but as
a possible investigation tool.

It doesn't, here.

Fix the bug, but that involves understanding whenand why it happens and
what is causing it.

Again, depends on desktop enviroment and whether wayland or X11, but
yes, there are clipboard managers that can show it. KDE has one running
all the time i think.


Yes, Klipper in KDE can display images in the clipboard. However,
clipboard operations are not that simple under the hood. For large data
such as image, the source app doesn't really copy the data but some kind
of announcement, so during the paste the pasting app retrieves the data
from the source app and this source app may misbehave.

[Gimp-developer] Why does it take so long until Gimp finds out that no image is on the clipboard

2020-05-03 Thread Adalbert Hanßen
I am using Gimp 2.8 under Xubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

>From time to time I use Gimp to crop screenshots in order to paste the right 
>part of a screenshot to a report.

Sometimes, my screenshot utility (xfce4-screenshooter) does not put my 
screenshot onto the clipboard when I invoke the screenshot utility by the right 
shortcut. I have no idea, what's wrong then but alsoLibreOffice tells me that 
there is noimage on the clipboard in these cases. In some of themthere still is 
text on the clibpoard from the last clipboard operation, so the error message 
from Gimp is ok.

Whatreally annoys me isthat it takes almost a minute for Gimp to tell me that 
there is no image on the clipboard.
