Bug 1377652

Hmm, works just fine for me:

- in both GNOME and XFCE
- using the menu entry or keyboard shortcut
- with GIMP already running when taking the screenshot and started afterwards
- without delay

Same versions of gimp, xfce4-screenshooter here.

Can you reproduce under a different (preferably newly created) user, or on a different machine?

I will try with newly provisioned machine. So far I have tried with one physical machine and one virtual machine. Both had Czech locale (maybe it is not related, I will check).

Yes it's locale specific, it works OK with en_US.UTF-8, reproducible with:

$ export LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8
$ startxfce4

Not tested with other DEs.

Tested on newly provisioned system.

Ahh, interesting!

I've tried it out in two constellations:

- xfce4-screenshooter with Czech, GIMP with English locale
- xfce4-screenshooter with English, GIMP with Czech locale

The first way failed, the second worked. I conclude that xfce4-screenshooter fails to properly copy the image to the clipboard (whyever). Changing component to xfce4-screenshooter.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Is this still an issue?

I am able to do this on F25 without problems.

Yes, F25 cs_CZ.UTF-8 locale, Xorg, Xfce and it still doesn't work.

It seems to be xfce4-screenshooter issue, because I can reproduce the problem even with e.g. libreoffice.

$ xfce4-screenshooter

# Store to clipboard

$ oowriter

# CTRL + V

I cannot reproduce this in 

- libreoffice-writer
- pinta
- gimp


Any chance your clipboard is being used by something else?

Hmm, interesting, I am going to retry on cleanly provisioned system.

Maybe I got it, it seems to be related to my desktop size, it's 5280 x 1080, which is, well, not low. If I took screenshot of screen selection, let's say 100x100 pixels, it works OK. But in the past it worked OK for the whole screen as well, IIRC F23, so it's probably regression.

Machine has 8GB physical RAM and another 8GB in swap, free is currently showing 3GB of free physical RAM and 8GB free swap, so memory cannot be the problem and no error is shown in xfce4-screenshooter.

Aha!!! I can reproduce this. I have an external monitor attached to my system.

1920x1080 + 1280x1024  (old monitor ... ) seems to "not work" either!


But .. what's happening is that xfce4-screenshooter is taking awfully long to actually paste it to any application under test. For the above resolution, it took me close to 2 mins to paste - but it did paste.

So, clearly, it is unusable. I will file this upstream. To me it seems like screenshooter has some issues handling large images.

OK, thanks. This is probably different issue than my original issue with the cs_CZ.UTF-8 locale, but it's still unusable. With my resolution I gave up in LibreOffice after cca. 5 minutes, in Gimp there is some timeout or something, because after while it shows dialog saying that paste failed or something similar.

Bug filed upstream.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Moving to f25, it's still an issue with:

xfce4-screenshooter-1.8.2-6.fc24.x86_64

which I have on f25 (i.e. it probably hasn't been recompiled for f25). I am going to check with:

xfce4-screenshooter-1.8.2-7.fc26

once I upgrade to f26 (soon :)

Moved to rawhide. I don't think this works yet.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
