Clipboard Stops Working.
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The clipboard stops working when I copy non-text onto the Clipboard. Scenario 1: - I run the test gtk clipboard app. - I run Microsoft Word. - I copy text, the app sees that text. - I create an image (with Ctrl+Print Screen) and paste it - this fails! - I stop running the app. - I then go back to word, and try pasting again - this works! Scenario 2: - I run Microsoft Word. - I run the test gtk clipboard app. - I copy text (in the document), the app sees that text. - I copy an image (already in the document), the app does not see the change (because i await text only). - I then go to copy the SAME text and the app fails to notice the clipboard change. I wrote a Windows test program to access the clipboard directly (using their APIs) and all seems fine in these scenarios.
Created attachment 21214 [details] Two test programs for the Windows API and the GTK API
Created attachment 21215 [details] Same as previous attachment but correct mime type this time :)
