Copyq: Pasted item not matching selected one from context menu

[orschiro]

Hi all,

Can anyone reproduce the problem by which CopyQ is not pasting the selected item from the context menu but a different one?

I recorded this video for you.

Much appreciated!

Does this work in other apps or fields on web pages?

Can you try pressing Shift+Insert again (that's what CopyQ uses to paste the content)?

[orschiro]

The problem is that it doesn't always happen. I will monitor this and see if I can reliably reproduce it!

[orschiro]

OK, it just occurred again and pressing Shift while selecting an entry from the context menu causes the same problem.

Maybe the target app is misbehaving (web app or browser). I don't cannot reproduce this issue anywhere.

I think I have seen this before. I will try to keep an eye out for it and in what settings I see it occur and try to reproduce. It might take me a while to narrow it down though since I only see it once in a while.

@orschiro did this start happening only with recent versions of CopyQ? The issue I have in mind has been happening for a while.

@scottkosty good question. Honestly I don't know. I will report back if I find any more information about this issue. Thanks for your help!

Dear @scottkosty and @hluk,

Once the bug occurs and the wrong element is pasted, I can press Ctrl + Z to undo the paste and then press Ctrl + Shift + V to paste the correct entry.

Interesting find, right?

It looks like the target application still sees the old clipboard content when CopyQ generates Shift+Insert.

You can add a delay when pasting from main window (see this comment).

@hluk thanks! Target application is Chrome, shall that matter.
