Public bug reported:
On copying a password or entry into a clipboard Keepass2 puts an atom
with id of zero into a list of formats. This makes it impossible to
paste from Keepass2 into any Java program.
Following is a simple Java program which attempts to print clipboard content:
=== ClipRead.java ===
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.datatransfer.*;
public class ClipRead {
public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Clipboard clipboard = toolkit.getSystemClipboard();
Object data = clipboard.getData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);
System.out.println("[" + data + "]");
}
}
=== ClipRead.java ===
Calling it after copying from Keepass2 results in a following exception:
$ java ClipRead
Atom was 0
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Failed to retrieve
atom name.

Expected result:
$ java ClipRead
[my password]
