As a developer I understand that, but as a end user the mental model I think of with copy and paste is "lifting" content out of one application and putting it in another. > It is a quite tricky issue to solve. It might be hard to solve well... but couldn't spectacle be modified to keep the process alive for .. 30 seconds? - or until the content is pasted/clipboard changed or something like that? That wouldn't solve the underlying issue, but I think it would hide it from 90% of the users. My gut feeling is that 5 seconds is something quite a lot of users would run into, if you are switching back and forth between windows etc. 30 seconds../1 minute? Probably fairly rarely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
