I made an issue on this on the st-flexipatch repository believing the st terminal to be the issue, however I now believe it to be to do with maim/xclip. https://github.com/bakkeby/st-flexipatch/issues/69 My issue is explained and expanded on there. Essentially when I do something like maim -u -f png | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png And then try to paste it into Discord in Firefox, Firefox will freeze entirely for a few seconds and nothing will happen, although sometimes it does work, a significant amount of the time it just freezes Firefox. I've had this issue for quite a while now, and I tried to use things like flameshot as a workaround but now I'd really just love to fix it properly.

Fixed by installing xclip-git xclip needs to be updated in the arch repos as it's 2 years old

xclip needs to be updated in the arch repos as it's 2 years old

That's not even a problem in Arch, since the latest relese of xclip is 0.13, and Arch ships exactly this version. I will leave an issue at xclip repository and ask them to prepare a new release.
