I am unable to reproduce the problem, I guess you must have some specific clipboard data type to trigger this, which I do not have.
This makes me very uncomfortable because I cannot confirm whether the fix in r7196 does resolve this problem. Please also be aware that we no longer even attempt to compress strings smaller than 512 bytes, which means that what used to crash this code before may not crash it any more but that this alone does not necessarily mean that the actual bug is fixed.
As always, please include -d clipboard
in bug reports about clipboard.
Testing with windows 0.14.0r7205 against fedora 20 0.14.0r7189 ... I am also unable to reproduce the problem.
Smo got a crash copying some urls. I was copying entire web pages ... 14 KB, 22 KB, 35 KB - with no problems at all. I was also able to copy urls without incident.
You may be able to close this ticket: I can continue to check and re-open if the problem re-emerges.
OK thanks, closing and hoping for the best!
