Copied text not accessible about ulauncher-clipboard HOT 6 CLOSED

I had exactly the same problem as yours. It seems it's because of how X11 handles the clipboard. I fixed it and make a pull request here #14

from ulauncher-clipboard.

Which DE? X11 or Wayland? Which Ulauncher version? I'm also using Arch, and it works for me. It's using the same method as Ulauncher for copying text, so it should work.

This is where it's defined:

I am Using X11 with i3wm and Ulauncher version 5.3.0~beta1. Maybe it is because of the beta. However, the clipboard works fine with other extensions.

I'm not using the beta but I tested it when migrating the extension, and it definitely worked.

Since I can't really replicate the issue or have the time to try right now I'll leave the issue open. If you have the time and skills you can try manually "copying" with the code I linked to, and see if that's the problem. If not there might be something I can do.

Also run Ulauncher with ulauncher -v to see a detailed log if some error in my code is triggered.

I came to the conclusion that the problem is the usage of the GTK clipboard functions. I used the set_text() and store() methods independent of this extension and had the same problem. So this isn't a problem specific to this extension. However, I have no idea yet why this occurs.

Based on this comment I'm not sure #14 fixed the issue for the reporter, but 9ac2695 should have (not implemented for CopyQ yet).

I'm closing, assuming it's fixed. If this still happens to someone please comment here or create a new issue.
