Description m.wege 2021-06-27 18:33:17 UTC

Copying a screenshot to the clipboard does not appear to be working when I use wayland.
After copying to clipboard in Spectacle, the picture is not shown in Klipper and is not pasted (correctly) into the clipboard. Something appears to be copied in the clipboard as Klipper shows an empty entry and when trying to paste it in Dolphin I receive an error message. The German error message is "Die Zwischenablage hat sich seit dem letzten Einfügen geändert. Das gewünschte Datenformat ist nicht mehr verfügbar. Bitte kopieren Sie die einzufügenden Daten erneut." -> I did not change anything.

Hello, I can confirm the same issue on KUbuntu with Spectacle 21.04.2. Creating the screenshot works, but when try to paste from clipboard it appears empty.
