Hello, I found an issue that only occurs sometimes when taking a screenshot. Often after taking another screenshot and closing the spectacle window but not limited to such cases I think.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a screenshot, rectangle or fullscreen doesn't matter
2. Press accept or press copy to clipboard
3. Try to paste into a chat for example, it pastes an empty image

OBSERVED RESULT
4. Copy the image from the spectacle window again, it works fine now
It's a minor yet very annoying bug.

EXPECTED RESULT

Indeed it is, but I found it works the same for anything that lets you copy an image, signal or gimp for example
