Description javiermon 2006-10-24 22:31:56 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Hi

If you open a epiphany window, copy something, close epiphany and try to paste it, voila! There's nothing to paste.

I find quite amusing the default web browser doesn't implement this feature correctly, I would expect it from firefox since it's not a gnome app, but epiphany... 

I understand having a clipboard daemon may have it's performance issues, but this new behaviour is quite strange and only a few gnome apps follow it... it looks broken from a non-new user.

anyway, sorry for the rant.

Thanks

Thanks

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open epiphany, copy some text
2. Close epiphany
3. Nothing to paste


Actual results:
You can't paste the copied text

Expected results:
The text should be copied

Does this happen every time?
yes

Thanks for your bug report.

As much as we'd like it to be different, this is an issue that affects every X application, not just Epiphany. There is nothing that we can do about it.
Comment 2 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-10-24 22:48:35 UTC 
gkt_clipboard_store could be used. Perhaps storing only the plain text representation would be an idea?
Comment 3 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-10-24 22:56:14 UTC 
OK, so apparently I was wrong?! Sorry.
Comment 4 javiermon 2006-10-25 05:33:57 UTC 
Hi again

There are some gnome apps that implement this behaviour correctly, for instance, gedit and gnome-terminal. Maybe their maintainers can help out. I don't know if gkt_clipboard_store can help out, I'm not familiar with gtk.

Thanks

Comment 6 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2007-03-21 13:54:23 UTC 
Chpe, what about storing the text/plain representation on quit?
Comment 7 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2007-04-04 07:10:35 UTC 
I tried some gtk_clipboard_store magic but realized that the real business is in the EphyEmbed:

                ephy_command_manager_do_command (EPHY_COMMAND_MANAGER (embed),
                                                 "cmd_copy");
Am I right?

The bug still exists on 2.28+. @Diego, is your patch still valid with the webkit backend?

I do not remember how to reproduce this one.

So far it works fine for me in 3.3, can anyone else confirm if it still happens in 3.2 or, if possible, 3.3?
Comment 12 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2012-02-10 23:06:33 UTC 
Clipboard contents are available after quitting Ephy in 3.2. Marking RESOLVED.
