Pasting clipping with placeholders not working on Linux

[aecreations]

Reported from the forums:

When I updated to the last version (6.5.6) I noticed placeholders are no longer working properly.

My templates without placeholders work fine - I select the clipping and it pastes into the active window.

For templates with placeholders, the dialog pops up with the fields to fill in, and after selecting "OK" nothing happens. Nothing is pasted, and nothing is in the paste buffer.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, with Firefox 126.0.1

Reverting to version 6.5.5 makes everything work again.

Issue is confirmed with Clippings 6.5.6 on Firefox 127.0, on Ubuntu 22.04. This issue is NOT occurring on Firefox 115.12 ESR.

Bug fix failed. Need to revert to old pasting behaviour, where the paste message sent to the content script is called from a function that is invoked after a short timeout. This only needs to be done on Linux.

Also observed: the call to browser.windows.update() on the browser window seems to have no effect on Linux, and it does not throw an error.

Confirmed fixed. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 and Firefox 127. Also regression tested on Windows and macOS, with the browser window in normal size and full screen.

Tested on OpenSUSE 15.5 with Firefox 115.11.0esr (64-Bit). There, Clippings was not pasting anything anymore presumably since the upgrade to Clippings 6.5.6, but with Clippings 6.5.6.1 beta 2 it works again.

[aecreations]

Fixed in 6.5.6.1

Remaining work: Open a bug in Mozilla regarding non-functioning WebExtension API call browser.windows.update() on Linux.

[aecreations]

Confirmed that issue is reproducible beginning in Firefox 121.
