Description Vincent 2010-07-11 08:38:12 UTC 
I use Gimp 2.6.10 on windows XP.

I want to do a screenshot with the "print screen" or alt+"print screen" keys.

When I choose "Paste" in Gimp, it says "no data in the clipboard" (pas de données dans le presse-papier) (I'm a french user).

When I choose "Paste" in the Microsoft Windows Paint, the data are available.

I go back to Gimp 2.6.8 and all is ok for copy-pasting...

Works for me in my own gimp-2-6 build, but I can reproduce it with 2.6.10 from the installer.
Comment 2 Tor Lillqvist 2010-07-12 07:16:53 UTC 
Michael, what GTK+ version do you use in your own build vs. what version is included in the 2.6.10 installer? This problem most likely is caused by some bug in GTK+ that has already been fixed in current versions, but the installer ships an outdated version on purpose because other (more important?) features work better in that.
Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2010-07-12 08:19:46 UTC 
I'm using one of the GTK+ 2.16 packages from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.16/.

I'm not sure if I'm using the most cuzrrent 2.16.6-2 provided there (I think I am and I can confirm this tonight), but replacing the GTK+ of the 2.6.10 installer with 2.16.6-2 fixes the problem.
Comment 4 Michael Schumacher 2010-07-12 08:58:36 UTC 
I'm marking this as an Installer problem then.
Comment 5 Michael Schumacher 2010-07-13 20:18:03 UTC 
The installer has been updated. Please try the updated version and report back.

Yes, the copy-past works with the "gimp-2.6.10-i686-setup-1.exe" installer.
Thank's.
