I've been seeing this bug for many months (maybe years). After compiling from source and relaunching xfsettingsd, the bug appears to be fixed! I'll try it out over the next few days to make sure it's a reliable fix.
Can you backport this one? I'm using xenial and manually applying the patch and building worked. If not maybe I'll try to see if I can figure out how to make a PPA for it. The way I've been reproducing is I have a keyboard shortcut to take section of the screen screenshots (drap the box) and have it copy to clipboard automatically. (xfce4-screenshooter -r -c). When doing this, if the boxed area was bigger than about...let's say 400x400, upon pasting it was freeze the program it's pasting into for 5ish seconds, and then not actually paste. This seemed intermittent, but most of the time it was an issue (very very occasionally, big screen sections would work). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1655398 Title: 1920x1080 screenshot hangs & fails on clipboard insert (GIMP&lowriter) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-settings/+bug/1655398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
