I had a handy hot key I had (ctrl-alt-cmd-c) did a "Show Contents Menu" for the Clipboard history, so I could do any number of things with it (mainly pasting the text elsewhere).
I don't remember hearing this one before, it's nice if your clipboard contents are short though I would think it would make more sense on a mouse trigger than a HotKey one (I think this for most menu commands since you need to use the mouse ultimately).
After upgrading to Leopard, this now causes my PM Dual G5 to thrash quite badly and give me multiple instances of the submenu of Actions. Screenshot : http://tinyurl.com/65r6qn Any ideas? QS ß54 & ß56 both display this.
I was going to say make sure you don't have any Unknown Objects on the history but the screenshot shows you don't. When I try it I don't get the duplicated submenu. B54, 10.5.5, Intel, Clipboard plugin B9, Mouse Triggers plugin 142. I think it's the mouse triggers plugin that provides the Show Contents Menu action.
I don't know what's causing the problem. Clearing the clipboard history would be my first attempt. After that try a clean install. Quit Quicksilver, rename ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/ and restart QS. You'll lose all your configuration but you'll see if it's a config problem (or corruption) if it works. If it does work you can try moving items back from where you renamed them (while QS isn't running) and see if they break things.
On your same hotkey I have Clipboard History (Show Contents) which shows them in a results list in the main QS command window, so I can quickly type to select an action though I usually hit shift-command-P while in the first pane to perform the Paste action (my default text action for the letter P). Since it doesn't use the mouse, you might like it.
