When you say the clipboard stops working, what exactly does that entail? Does it sound anything like this? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2215 Supposedly that was fixed, but maybe it is cropping up again in a different form.
It's probably really an issue with GTK, but maybe it's specific to GNU Radio Companion, so this is as good a place as any until we can narrow it down. Have you by chance previously used a non-conda version of GRC and also seen this, so we can know to look at packaging-specific issues or not?
I don't think it is the exact GTK issue that you are referring to. I cannot reliably cause the bug just by opening and closing GNU Radio companion. But if I am using it for a while and am using it, at some point I find that cut and paste no longer works.
One possibly relevant factor is that I am using embedded python blocks, which require opening an external text editor (in my case NotePad++). However, performing this action does not seem to directly trigger the bug.
In the past I have used the windows build of Gnu Radio from GNC, and I don't recall this being an issue there - but this was some time ago, and with much older GnuRadio version, so it's not directly comparable.
Puzzling. I'll leave GRC open for a while and see if I can observe it, although I may have complications due to running in a VM which connects my host system clipboard to the Windows one.
Questions:
The issue is quite intermittent, I have just encountered it again after leaving Gnu Radio companion running for a couple of hours, despite not having experienced it for at least a week.
When running GNU Radio companion from this Conda package under Windows, after a while the Windows clipboard stops working - it is.
I am using GNURadio 3.10.1.0 package from conda-forge, with Mambaforge Python 3.9, on Windows 11. However, I have previously observed this issue with earlier versions of Python on a Windows 10 machine.
I am posting issue here, because I assume it is Windows specific, and related to the packaging of appropriate GUI or system libraries. But please advise if there is a more appropriate place to raise this issue, or if there are any steps I could take to help diagnose this issue.
