Steps to reproduce : - copy some text from thunderbird, firefox (iceweasel), google chrome... - quit the browser - try to paste the text Important note : that behavior does not happen with xfterm4, midori, mousepad... What happens : - nothing is pasted. The text is selected in clipman's history, though. Workaround : - i must reselect the text in clipman's history, then i can paste it. I'm using xfce4-clipman-plugin 1.1.0 debian package. This problem has been around for a while. Regards, Jérémy Lal
Ouch, I can reproduce, but this shouldn't have been the case.
Passing NULL instead of the gdkwindow looks like to catch all the events... but it also restores the clipboard content when it usually gets lost. I don't think that passing NULL is ideal so I'll look what else I could do.
I miss-tested the thing... sorry. I cannot reproduce, actually it works fine for me. I open xfrun4 type something and copy the text (with ctrl+c), close, and and I can still paste it, same with mousepad etc. I tested with an old version 1.0 first :$
Right, with firefox you said... reopen.
i also tested with parcellite, and it behaves the same way. http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/
I roughly checked, when copying text from firefox the clipboard selection is lost, which is normal, but there isn't any event further once firefox is closed where normally there is a selection request event.
Fixed with in git 2e1354a.
