Bug#1030396: kde-spectacle: Automatic clipboard copy does nothing

[Jesse Rhodes]

Package: kde-spectacle
Version: 22.12.1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: je...@sney.ca

Dear Maintainer,

I have kde-spectacle set up to automatically copy any screenshots to the clipboard so I can easily paste them into a chat application or image share site, etc. This has been my workflow for some time.

Since the update to kde 5.26.90, the spectacle window shows a "The screenshot has been copied to the clipboard." tooltip, but when I go to paste, the expected image isn't there and I paste whatever else was the most recent thing in my clipboard.

The "copy image to clipboard" button behaves as expected. So it's just the automatic function that is suddenly missing.

Here's what the tooltip looks like - from this point I had to press the "copy image to clipboard" button to actually copy the image to clipboard.

Please let me know if you need any more information or if I should file this upstream as well.

Thanks for your work,

sney

This looks like the following bug report :
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465010

Can you confirm you're using the rectangle selection as described there ?


Thanks,

Hello Aurélien,

Yes, that's exactly it. I am using the rectangle selection as described there. Sorry, I did check for an upstream report but I must have missed it in the list.

No worries.

So I'm linking that upstream bug report.
