Text not always copied to clipboard

some1ataplace commented 5 months ago

What happened?

/tmp/.mount_NormCaEsSVNY/AppRun: line 11: 281245 Segmentation fault "${APPDIR}/usr/python/bin/python3" -u -s -X utf8 -c "import runpy, sys; sys.path.pop(0); runpy.run_module('${BRIEFCASE_MAIN_MODULE}', run_name='main', alter_sys=True)" "$@"

Sometimes text is not always copied to the clipboard. Other times, I still get the previous copy and not the current copy. This happens with the app image. Running the app image in debug mode causes the problem to occur less frequently.

How did you install NormCap?

AppImage (Linux)

Operating System + Version?

Debian 12

[Linux only] Display Server (DS) + Desktop environment (DE)?

This seems to be happening to me also. It works for a dozen times or so, then produces no output when I attempt to paste the captured text. Once it fails, It becomes more likely to fail, until it doesn't work at all until I reboot my system. I've tried it with and without using the option that puts the app in the System Tray. If you put it in the tray, the app disappears from the tray when it fails.

I'm running Linux Mint 20.3, attempting to capture text from a lengthy PDF. I installed Normcap from the Mint Software manager.

I'm a new user, and have no idea how to run in debug mode, so I'm able to provide the debug output.

I've discovered that when it fails, I can get it to work by starting it up (until the pink box appears around your screen), and then just clicking on the screen without drawing a box, which I guess clears things up to some extent, and then starting it up again. Doesn't always work, and may only work for a couple of pages of text. Once it starts to fail, it seems to fail more often, until the only recourse is to reboot the machine.

I probably should have mentioned that it was installed from a Flatpack.

Based on comments by SnowballV in issue #658, I have reverted to .5.2 and the problem has gone away. Today I was able to grab over 20 pages of text with no loss, whereas before I couldn't get past 10 or so pages without losing the clipboard. Thanks!

I suppose you meant issue #638. Good that version 0.5.2 works for you too.
