    <thetext>DESCRIPTION
Spectacle sometimes doesn&apos;t save text to clipboard using the Extract Text feature and instead saves the whole image (with saving images to clipboard after taking a screenshot option enabled)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Spectacle (with saving images to clipboard after taking a screenshot option enabled in Configure Spectacle)
2. Choose a region to extract text from then use Extract Text
3. Try to paste the text

OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle saves an image instead of the text that I want to extract

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle saves the text I chose.

Don&apos;t automatically copy image to clipboard when performing OCR

Since that would just immediately overwrite the OCR result in the clipboard.
