Description Manfred Hollstein 2024-05-17 10:04:55 UTC

parcellite-1.2.4.0-1.1.x86_64 crashes when one entry of the history list is left clicked. This is on XFCE as the desktop manager.

Also happens in i3 window manager with parcellite 1.2.4.0

The message differs when no parcelliterc file is present:

FYI: As mitigation the tool "clipit" can be used, it offers almost similar features and user experience.

While this is true, there's clearly a bug in the TW version of parcellite which must be fixed! We even have an XFCE plugin to manage the clipboard, "xfce4-clipman-plugin", but it's not as good as parcellite - but it must not dumping core on simple operations!
