Caprine: Weird clipboard capturing for Paste when not actually in focus

Created on 25 Jul 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: sindresorhus/caprine

The issue: when Caprine is not in focus, sometimes it's input field still receives clipboard (via Cmd+V).
And this is fixed only when I make Caprine in focus and then switch to another app again.

I'm still not sure about the steps, but it happened several times in last couple of weeks already.
Like I'm in another chat or browser, writing a message, then press Cmd+V and like nothing happens. But if Caprine window is open but not in focus I see the clipboard (like a link I copied from browser) goes there all those attempts.

Kinda weird stuff, I'd say.

Caprine 2.5.0.
macOS 10.12.6.

I also just discovered this was true. I was about to restart my laptop and was closing down apps to do so when I noticed that all of my missing pasted text seemed to be in the input box for caprine. I also couldn't get cmd+alt+i to open dev tools in chrome but don't know if that had any effect in caprine.

Restarting Caprine (and not my laptop) does seem to have fixed it for now.
