[hyprland] issue with Persistent history

[shadowe1ite]

When I try to copy text from applications, I can only paste the text if the application window is still open. However, the history of copied text is saved. I can select the text from history, and even if I close the application, the text can be pasted.

Hi @shadowelite-sec :wave:

Thanks for raising this.

Can I ask what applications are you copying from? I'm wondering if this behaviour is caused by the application rather than by the clipse program. Have you confirmed that you don't get this behaviour when the clipse binary is not running?

It would also be useful to know what desktop environment you are on (wayland/x11) and which clipboard utility (wl-clipboard/xclip etc). EDIT: just noticed the [hyprland] in the issue title so assuming Wayland and wl-clipboard :smile:

It's happening to all xwayland and wayland applications

I am not sure maybe it's is related to https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/6725#issuecomment-2254670283

Yeah it deffo could be related to that. I guess the quickest way to know for sure is check if it still happens after running clipse --kil

Thanks for confirming @shadowelite-sec
