Selecting the text
SUMMARY
The new OCR function in Spectacle has a UX problem when combined with the
setting to save image into clipboard after taking a screenshot. Both functions
attempt to save something and the image seems to win the race condition, not
only proceeding the text but straight up replacing it, leaving the clipboard
with ONLY the image of the text that was supposed to be extracted. I've also
enabled the "Close after extraction" setting that is supposed completely
override the saving process of the image itself, including the clipboard, which
clearly doesn't happen. I've provided some relevant screenshots to showcase the
problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable saving image to clipboard after taking screenshot and close after
extraction settings.
(Screenshot with relevant settings highlighted is provided as attachment.)
2. Select a rectangle region and attempt to use the "Extract Text" function.
OBSERVED RESULT
Image gets copied to clipboard instead of the text.
EXPECTED RESULT
Image shouldn't get copied, instead the text should.
