Screenshot copying to clipboard doesn't work

Description
On a Fedora 42 GNOME Wayland session, copying a screenshot to the clipboard (using Ctrl+C or the copy button) does not work. The application shows a notification that the image has been copied, but the clipboard remains empty. Saving the screenshot to a file works correctly. The issue persists even with the wl-clipboard package installed.
Steps to reproduce

System Information

I second this, having the exact same problem on my end using Ubuntu 25.10 on GNOME, Wayland. The .deb and .appimage are also giving me trouble, even though it is different, still have to open a separate issue for that.
Same problem. Maybe similar to #4285. I did some analysis on my end finding this:
After some testing I am pretty sure that the problem is not with the pasting (at least for me) but rather that flameshot freezes for a couple of seconds. I can not interact with flameshot at all for like 10s after pressing ctrl-c to safe the screenshot to clipboard.
Until a fix I have to switch to shutter
Update: After updating my system just now and restarting, flameshot is working again. Maybe some other package broke flameshot. Anyway for me it is working again
The #4363 have been merged. It would be great if users can try the latest builds and provide feedback if this has fixed the clipboard issue and copying in Gnome
@mmahmoudian works perfectly on Arch Linux with Gnome 49.2, flameshot commit e9a8aed8
@mmahmoudian The issue persists for me. I use Arch with i3. I have tried using flameshot full -c which fails to copy to the clipboard. Here is the output from the CLI:
QThreadStorage: entry 1 destroyed before end of thread 0x5641f9d99eb0
QThreadStorage: entry 0 destroyed before end of thread 0x5641f9d99eb0
I asked my friend to try it out on his Debian build and it runs perfectly fine for him. This is what his output shows:
QFont::fromString: Invalid description 'Sans Serif,10,-1,5,400,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1'
QFont::fromString: Invalid description 'Monospace,10,-1,5,400,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1'
QFont::fromString: Invalid description 'Sans Serif,10,-1,5,400,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1'
QFont::fromString: Invalid description 'Sans Serif,10,-1,5,400,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1'
I have also tried compiling and building it myself. The problem still persists.
P.S.: Here is what my flameshot --version returns:
Flameshot v13.3.0 ()
Compiled with Qt 6.10.1
I ran into this with the version of Flameshot currently in Debian Trixie. I tried building from the GitHub source and confirmed that the problem is not present in that version, at least for me.
The latest dev build (flameshot-13.3.0-1.debian-12.amd64.deb) also fixes the problem I encountered in Debian Trixie.
