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.
Comment 1 J. Daniel Schmidt 2024-06-04 22:07:57 UTC 
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!
