Comment 2 for bug 1995826

Oliver:

I uninstalled the Ubuntu diodon package, downloaded the source and built it from scratch. I logged out/in to make sure that the current build was being used. I have adjusted line 296:

Utility.perform_key_event(key, true, 0);

in various increments all the way down to zero. However, in no case can I get diodon to paste into the calling window under the above cases. Clipman currently builds a menu of selections, but it will only pasted the last selection (what is in the B2 paste buffer) rather than the selected items. Despite that, it never fails to paste to the proper window regardless of how far out of that window the mouse pointer is located. After the clipman paste, the focus does move to the window below the cursor, but that doesn't happen until the past is complete.

I haven't done any window manager programming so I'm not sure what xfce4-clipman is doing different from diodon, but there is something going on that is different. I will run further tests if there is something to try and I hope we can pin this down.

Thanks for the reply.

Regarding Wayland -- just another negative side effect of this "improved" code. :-(
