So I guess there's a

4. paste screen into ooimpress

Do you close the screenshot dialog between 3 and 4 ?  If you leave the dialog open, does it paste okay into gimp?

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated

Comment 8 Phil Wyett 2014-12-05 22:44:25 UTC
Bringing up to date wit 6.6 and in relation to question in comment 1.

If the gnome-screenshot dialog is open when executing other apps i.e. libreoffice-impress or the gimp. The screenshot copied to clipboard pastes into both applications corerctly.

The dialog must be left open or the clipboard data is lost.
