Description Juanjo Garcia-Ripoll 2012-10-17 09:02:43 UTC 
This is what happens:

* I copy an image from another application (say Firefox)
* I go to Gimp and use " Create from Clipboard " and it works

* I now select something in that image
* Copy that selection
* Use " Create from Clipboard " and it works

* Finally go to Firefox and copy another image
* Go back to Gimp
* Use " Create from Clipboard " and it does not work.

In other words, it seems that Gimp's clipboard overrides any content in the clipboard from other applications, which is not ok.

Not the slightest clue about OSX here, but bug 626499 is about clipboard support on that platform - related?
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2012-10-17 22:15:46 UTC 
I think so, will need to verify that on the Mac though.
Comment 3 Chris 2012-10-19 03:34:43 UTC 
Unable to reproduce under Linux/x64. Attempted in both single-window mode and
in traditional window mode. For the 3rd part of the sequence, attempted
File->Create from both the original image and from the copied image's File
menu. Second application was also Firefox.
Comment 4 Simone Karin Lehmann 2012-11-12 20:43:08 UTC 
I've tested this on OS X 10.8 an GIMP 2.8.2 and I can confirm this bug.  

In the 3rd step, copying the image in Firefox works perfectly (verified by pasting it into Pages) but GIMP can't get it with 'create from clipboard'.
Comment 5 Michael Schumacher 2012-11-13 18:23:41 UTC 
And could it be a duplicate of the bug mentioned in comment #1?
Comment 6 Michael Natterer 2012-11-30 23:31:34 UTC 
It is indeed the very same bug, and I think I just made the right
patch for it. Simone, can you perhaps test the patch in the other
bug?
