2. Create a "Minimum" test sript:

keyboard.send_keys(contents)

3. Run the test script

Expect: The clipboard is pasted.
See: Crash

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.90.3

Please provide any additional information below.

Similar to reports:
http://code.google.com/p/autokey/issues/detail?id=40&can=1&q=get_selection
http://code.google.com/p/autokey/issues/detail?id=107&can=1&q=get_selection

but this happens all the time, no matter in which window I use the script, and 
I am sure I am selecting latin-only chars.

Any chance you can test this on Ubuntu 12.04?

After upgrade to 12.04, I still get the same.

Ah, I also noticed that only the interface crashes, because after the interface 
crash, my existing phrases are still getting expanded.

I had just upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10, but after removing everything and with 
a clean 12.04 install, the problem was gone.

If no one duplicates this on a clean Ubuntu 12.04 install, this can be closed.

This is due to different behaviours in Gnome 3.2 and 3.4 of PyGI. I will try to 
fix but it's not a priority as it works in the latest GTK versions.

hi, with Ubuntu 12.10 the problem persists,
according to 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10804576/python-gtk-clipboard-get-gtk3-return
-value-differs

I've tried to remove decode('utf8') call and it works.
scripting.py +837

regards berga

I'm sorry, the problem is related to the fix of the issue #211

2012-12-05 23:27:40,255 ERROR - service - Script error

so it seems to work restoring last param "-1" to set_text call.

Any chance this could be fixed by the October 17th release of Ubuntu 13.10?

Here's a downstream bug report listed on launchpad:
