#267 Issue with pasting into SCID Flatpak on Aurora (Immutable OS)

[Joe Mama]

My fen is in my clipboard, (the KDE clipboard manager). I paste it ctrl-shift-v, and I see "The Current Text Selection is Empty ..."

However when I go to the "Setup Start Board" interface and Ctrl-V it there, the board loads fine.

Changing the permissions in FlatSeal didn't seem to help at all.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

The clipboard access in both cases uses Tcl/Tk's selection get -selection CLIPBOARD. The only difference I'm aware of is that when pasting directly into a widget (like the FEN entry field in "Setup Start Board"), Tk sets the -displayof option to that specific widget, whereas the "Paste FEN" menu command uses the default (-displayof .).

This could potentially matter in a multi-monitor setup.

Could you please clarify:
- Are you using multiple monitors?
- Does the "Paste FEN" button inside the "Setup Start Board" window work correctly?

This will help narrow down whether the issue is related to the display context.

Hi
I'm not using multiple monitors, and the paste FEN button doesn't work correctly.
I have to go into the board editor, delete the existing FEN, and paste in the new FEN into the text box field.
