Clipboard History not storing text from sublime text

[abdulrahman sahmoud]

Clipboard history refuses to store text from sublime text.

Sublime Text is not marked as one of the ignored apps: https://imgur.com/a/74OhexA

 

Steps to reproduce:
1- write some text in sublime text

2- copy the text from sublime text

3- open the clipboard history view in alfred

4- text just copied from sublime text not in clipboard history view

5- press cmd+v in any app, text is pasted normally. Clipboard works as expected

--------------

1- Write "xoxo" in TextEdit (this works with any text "xoxo" is just an example)

2- Select and copy "xoxo" from TextEdit

3- open clipboard history view in alfred

4- text copied from TextEdit "xoxo" appears normally in clipboard history view

5- paste the text "xoxo" in sublime text

6- copy the text "xoxo" from sublime text

7- open clipboard history view, "xoxo" that was previously appearing in clipboard history is no longer there.

@abdulrahman sahmoud Have you installed a Sublime extension, or have sublime configured to have concealed or transient clipboard interactions? Alfred discards concealed or transient data by design.

I have not installed any sublime extension to conceal my clipboard, that has been happening since I installed sublime text on my mac without any special configurations.

I have just tried installing an alternative clipboard history software to test if Sublime Text is concealing the clipboard history in any way. 

 

I was not able to reproduce the issue there. I used the App called "CopyClip", after copying the text from Sublime Text, the app had the text recorded in its clipboard history.

After running Alfred 3 from the CLI, I looked at the logs to find this error that only occurs when I copy text from Sublime Text:

Deleting the clipboard.alfdb file fixed the issue
