Text copied/cut from launcher is not retained in clipboard #118

Closed jacobgkau closed 6 months ago

jacobgkau commented 7 months ago

If I type some text into the Launcher, then use Ctrl-A and Ctrl-X to cut it, I cannot paste it into other apps. This worked in the GNOME COSMIC, and was useful for e.g. needing to transcribe text from an image, since the Launcher is a quick and convenient place to type a small amount of arbitrary text.

This may be a wider issue within COSMIC Epoch since I've noticed the clipboard being lost when I close apps in general, but I'm starting it off here since it's an easy place to replicate the issue.

I believe this is generally a feature of wayland, but the launcher doesn't actually exit when it hides, so it should be able to provide the data it offers through the clipboard after hiding.

I've had problem with copy/paste from the Launcher but it seems to be working now.

Ya, this should be fixed now.
