Clipboard still not working

https://flutils.fly.dev/#/ The above link is an app i made with the latest flet version (0.1.62)

But the clipboard is still not working as expected.

I tested on "Shape" tab and it worked, more or less - see a screen recording below. Have to say successful copying to clipboard in safari strongly depends on a latency, i.e. the amount of time between user triggered event (click) and a set clipboard operation. There is a lot of security around that to prevent bots. I'm wondering what we can do to improve reliability.

So, I noticed just now that while testing the clipboard last time my Safari browser was in private mode. Maybe that caused nothing to enter my clipboard.

What I can say now is, the clipboard is working but with a very straaange behavior.

Have a look at what I got.

It worked normally for the first tries but after that ...seems like nothing enters anymore.

To be mentioned:

• on other browsers (chrome, brave) it works once in a while.

• there is issue (that you also had in your device), leaving the app for just some seconds shows up a "reconnection screen". Why is it like that, and eventually could it be solved? (Such a behavior is really annoying und also uncommon.)

I'm thinking... it's not ideal of course, but could it be a solution if we move setting value to a clipboard to a client (Flutter) side, kind of:

ElevatedButton("Copy value", set_clipboard="some data")

Clipboard is seriously jammed in Safari: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/106046 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70179363/navigator-clipboard-copy-doesnt-work-on-safari-when-the-copy-text-is-grabbed-via

I don't really know if this new approach will work best/as expected.

Maybe you could create a new branch, add it to one or two controls, and let's give it a try. Who knows?

Will you try it out @FeodorFitsner ?
