#67 Paste From System Clipboard Doesn't Work After Using Gimp's Internal Clipboard

[Michael Iles]

(Using Simone's 2.8.6 build on Mavericks.)

Pasting an image into Gimp worked the first time, but after I did a bit of copying and pasting within Gimp then pasting an external image in didn't work anymore.

Specifically:

1. Copy an image to the clipboard from somewhere else, e.g. by taking a screenshot.
2. Paste the clipboard into Gimp to start a new image (File > Create > From Clipboard).
3. In Gimp, do some copies and pastes within the image.
4. From another app, copy an image to the clipboard (e.g. take a screenshot).
5. Attempt to paste the clipboard into your Gimp image. At this point it doesn't work, instead you get the last internal image from step 3 repeated.

I can confirm the problem in Simone´s 2.8.10 build

I've seen this symptom, also.
