Description karamoro 2019-07-01 19:43:12 CEST
i have a few months debian installation with xfce. after some time the copy to clipboard stopped to work.

steps to reproduce:
1. i do select copy to clipboard option and select a region.
2. then i press ctrl-v to gtalk window: no result
3. i do the same to gimp and get the message: There is no image data in the clipboard to paste.
3.1 also when i did do it with GIMP i have got that whearly icon indicating some progres for at least 15 seconds.

What is going on?

Found this on the Bubuntu pages: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-screenshooter/+bug/1758707
Looks relevant.

also it does not matter what kind of 'Region of capture' you choose.
Comment 2 karamoro 2019-07-01 20:03:00 CEST
hmm when unticking 'capture the mouse pointer' it starts to work.
really strange...
Comment 3 karamoro 2019-07-01 20:06:47 CEST
hmm now the pointer does not have any relevance.

Possibly a dup of Bug #13537, can you try xfce4-settings-4.13.6+?
Comment 5 karamoro 2019-07-02 20:59:44 CEST
sorry i tried testing and unstable on debian but all give me 4.12
is there any other way to troubleshoot this?

For Ubuntu there are PPAs[1], for Debian I don't know.
I just noticed that the selected version of screenshooter on this bug report is 1.8.2, that's too old, there were many bugfixes since then.

sorry i hooked it up to unstable but only the 4.12 version was available. when i did try experimental i have got into dependencies hell. there is no way i can bring current version with debian without messing with dependencies or even compiling.

leave this one please open and i will try to check at ubuntu bugs if this is still present.

I'm closing this bug, you can reopen if this is still a problem after updating screenshooter and xfce4-settings.
