Ghost Window + ClipIt freeze

[tbx1b]

Hey - this is a bug report.

When using the "CTRL+ALT+H" hotkey, and then proceeding to open "Manage history" - a "ghost window" will appear in the top left. You can still open the context menu - though none of the buttons do anything - including "Quit". The only way to close it is to kill the process via htop or other system monitors.

This happens whether you have a history, or not (fresh bootup).

Here is the image of the "ghost window": https://i.imgur.com/usggcYT.png

When opening via terminal, the only thing that the Terminal says is: (clipit:100654): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 15:06:06.511: gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

That text shows up upon pressing "CTRL+ALT+H".

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (5.4.0-53-generic) w/ ClipIt 1.4.5. I installed via apt.

Install latest deb from Github, version with app indicator. Version in repo is broken.

Same issue here, the .deb fix the problem. Otherwise, the paste looks slow.
I think that the problem is the new ubuntu (20.04). CopyQ has the same problem.

When you say to install the latest deb from Github, do you mean compile it? I can't find a deb file on github.

[clappis]

@warrickguy yeah.
