xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.1 When copying the screenshot to clipboard, nothing appends when pasting in Libre Office Writer or AbiWord for example. Running XUbuntu 13.10.
Created attachment 5195 Paste test case It is working fine with the attached test case. (code comes from GIMP). I guess some apps, like Libre Office, are using something else than the GTK API to access the clipboard and maybe it is the cause the issue.

It doesn't work for me either, but in my case I don't even see that "Copy to clipboard" option in the Screenshot dialog (I'm talking about the second dialog where you have options to Save, Open with, and Host).
Created attachment 5330 I don't get an option to "Copy to clipboard" Here is a screen shot where there is no "Copy to clipboard" option.
I just tried against Git, on Xfce 4.10.1 ArchLinux x86_64 (3.14.1). I do get the option to copy to clipboard -- sgarbarini can you please tell us which distribution you're using and verify with them whether they removed the option with a patch? I do am able to paste to GIMP. I did not try to paste to a non-GTK app but supporting any further app would be fairly complicated -- the screenshooter would have to register different formats for the screenshot to be read and then provide an interface to query it, using the X11 lib (in opposition to its current 3-lines-or-so calls to GtkClipboard). I'd recommend living with this bug until X11 is gone...
This is Xubuntu 16.04 with xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.2-2 We first noticed this using Xubuntu while creating multiple screenshots with "Print" and inserting them into the LibreOffice document. open a new LibreOffice Writer document press "Print" choose save to clipboard use context menu in LibreOffice to insert screenshot into document edit document by simply adding 1 as a counter after the screenshot press "Print" again choose save to clipboard use context menu in LibreOffice to insert screenshot into document edit document by simply adding 2 as a counter after the screenshot repeat until either the insert hangs an fails (for us it happened on the 3-8 iteration) With a resolution of 1920x1080 we can insert about 3-8 full screen screenshots before the insert hangs for about ~30 seconds without inserting any contents. Yet editing may be resumed after words. We can also start LibreOffice Calc and attempt an insert and it would report the failure that it could not insert the image. We can also: start a fresh GIMP instead press "print" Choose File->Create->From Clipboard here we expect the insertion of the screenshot yet instead: wait for the ~30 second hang have GIMP report there that it could not retrieve image Data (If you start with GIMP it may work for the first few create from clipboard screenshots but it will hang and fail eventually.)
I forgot to mention, when using smaller screenhots (either smaller windows or at a resolution of 1280x1024, we haven't been able to easily reproduce this.
Even though this bug is older, the discussion on #13342 is more detailed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 13342 ***
