What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. text = clipboard.get_clipboard() 2. keyboard.send_keys(text)

What is the expected output? The clipboard's content.

What do you see instead? Autokey crashes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Autokey 0.90.4 on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal

Please provide any additional information below.

I was not able to reproduce this using either front-end with 0.90.4. Can you provide a log of the crash? Start autokey with the following:

autokey-gtk -l > ~/.autokey.log 2>&1 & disown

After the crash, provide the last 50 lines of the log file.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the crash either. Autokey seems to work fairly well at the moment apart from the fact that it is unresponsive from time to time: The sample script from above then pastes nothing as if the clipboard was empty, which it isn't. I can't explain why the situation improved, since I haven't changed my setup. (Still on autokey-gtk 0.90.1-1.1 in Quantal Quetzal.)

I can reproduce this. It happens on my VMWare Ubuntu 12.04 and VMWare 12.10 installed via Software Center.

But, you can bypass the error by installing xclip (apt-get install xclip) instead:

yourText = subprocess.Popen(["xclip","-selection", "clipboard", "-o"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0] keyboard.send_keys(yourText)

I can reproduce, and get this in the log ('test' script invoked by pressing alt+v):

Debian testing, autokey-gtk 0.90.1-1.1

I get the same error. version: 0.90.1, Linux mint 14. My script is:

import time time.sleep(0.25)

The sleep seems to be necessary to avoid lockups

text = clipboard.get_selection()

keyboard.send_key("")

keyboard.send_keys("The text %s was here previously" % text)

winTitle = window.get_active_title() winClass = window.get_active_class() dialog.info_dialog("Window information", "Active window information:\nTitle: '%s'\nClass: '%s' Text is: '%s'" % (winTitle, winClass, text))
