[MacOS Sierra] Unable to move drag&drop #4

Open setegonz opened 7 years ago

I cant drag files or folders after installing cerebro and some plugins. I think that is related to the clipboard plugin since there's an issue with clipboard apps. http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/168804

WOAH! I have never heard this before.. The clipboard functionality is something provided by electron, so it may be something we have to escalate. I am also in the middle of rewriting the way the clipboard works on mac, but it may take a little while. Is there some steps you could provide to reproduce? Like what other apps you may have open? Is it limited to dragging and dropping files in finder? or is it another app? Anything else that could be of use. If you uninstall this plugin does everything work as expected (i.e. It's not cerebro, just this plugin). I couldn't imagine this plugin would prevent dragging and dropping altogether, because it's just polling what's on the clipboard. I could see maybe causing a jitter or something..

@codingmatty I just install the clipboard plugin and after some time using it normally I decide to drag and drop some files I notice the problem. I just uninstalled the plugin and restart my computer and now is working normally. Zazu is having the same problem. https://github.com/tinytacoteam/zazu/issues/208

Same here. Mainly notice it when i want to move icons on my dock. To fix i have to do :

killall pboard
killall Dock

It happens a lot with apps that manage the clipboard on macOs

Alright, I was able to reproduce the problem with the existing plugin. I went ahead and uninstalled it for now and will check back and see if not having the plugin installed keeps it from happening. This is very strange behavior, and unfortunately beyond what I would be able to have a solution for. But I will try the new code that I am testing, which does not use Electron's built-in clipboard handler, and see if that causes the same issue, or solves the problem.Worst case, just make sure all of your dock icons are exactly where you want them ;pThanks for bringing this to my attention.
