Not registering clipboard changes #31

Closed Kuroonehalf closed 2 years ago

I realize support for this has probably dropped years ago, but I figured I'd try anyways in the off chance you might know what's up.

I've had this problem pretty much ever, I think. It happens on every version, as far as I can tell. Spark reader will be reading new text from the clipboard and parsing it just fine, until a point where it seems to stop registering the changes in the clipboard, seemingly with no rhyme or reason. This might happen 1 minute in, or 5 minutes in, but it pretty much always happens, and will not register new text copied for quite a few lines. Sometimes I can kind of force it to get back to working by copying random bits of text, but not always. This bug makes the program very unreliable to use, but I don't know of any tool that does exactly what Spark Reader does, so I've just been putting up with it.

Do you have an inkling what this could be about? For reference, I use plain old Textractor to get my text hooked and copied to clipboard.

Actually, I feel like a dummy for having found this right after making the topic, but the fault might actually be with Textractor's copy to clipboard plugin. I was doing pastes in a text editor as I went, and whenever Spark Reader seemingly stopped working, the pastes were also not updating to what the new lines should be. I think that's the issue. Welp. Sorry for the false alarm.
