i am been using spectacle to take screenshots but in a way where i get the rectangle selection right away and afterwards the image gets immediately sent to the clipboard.
but since the last update to Kubuntu 26.04 LTS i am having trouble pasting the picture. it is there in the clipboard history, i can see it but it doesn’t paste. i have to select another image from the history first and then the screenshot i just took again to be able to paste it. this behavior is only present with pictures, the clipboard functions normally with text.
is there a way to fix this?
edit: i just did some testing as i had the feeling it has something to do with the size of my selection. when i take only a smaller selection the pasting works without issues but if i use a larger selection it doesn’t paste again without the workaround mentioned above. i use a 1440p display and smaller is maybe 1/10th of the screen and larger is maybe 1/4th of the screen.
edit2: today i got an update for spectacle from 4.6.6.4 to 4.6.6.5 and it seems to have fixed the issue


My issues with spectacle is time dependent. The clipboard automatically clears the image after 20 seconds and there doesnt seem to be a way tp configure that
