DESCRIPTION Spectacle sometimes doesn'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.

Git commit 5b2064f1fee8210429b77f2a244da32dfc793b21 by Tobias Fella, on behalf of Tobias Fella. Committed on 02/06/2026 at 16:34. Pushed by tfella into branch 'master'. Don't automatically copy image to clipboard when performing OCR Since that would just immediately overwrite the OCR result in the clipboard.
