Bug ID: 467513
Summary: Spectacle Does Not Copy Image to Clipboard When
Clicking 'Copy to Clipboard' After Screenshot
Annotation
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: jpierce.co...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Like the title states, when I take a Spectacle screenshot (via shortcut keys,
have it set to copy on capture), and then click Annotation to edit the
screenshot, whenever I click Annotation Done, and click Copy to Clipboard,
Spectacle does not copy the image to Clipboard unless there is something
existing already in the Clipboard history. If the Clipboard is empty (which I
empty it every so often so it doesn't get cluttered up), and the existing copy
of the screenshot (before I annotated) is in there, when I click to copy the
annotated version of the screenshot, it clears the Clipboard, and doesn't copy
the annotated screenshot to the Clipboard. I would think this would be a
serious issue since it clears the clipboard without the clipboard being
explicitly asked to be cleared.
I can try to get a screen recording of this happening soon to help.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take rectangular region screenshot via Spectacle via shortcut keys (Super +
Shift + S)
2. Select Annotate, and make edits (usually bordered empty box is what I add),
click Annotation Done
3. Click Copy to Clipboard
4. Check Clipboard to see empty Clipboard, attempt to paste annotated image
into application (tested on several applications, such as Element, Telegram,
LibreWriter, OpenOffice)
OBSERVED RESULT
Annotated screenshot is not copied to clipboard when Copy to Clipboard button
is clicked in Spectacle, instead clears the clipboard
EXPECTED RESULT
Annotated image is copied to clipboard, and able to successfully be pasted in
supported applications.
