Description

I've installed the RPM flameshot-13.3.0-2.fc43.x86_64
I noticed that if I edit a screenshot and then use the copy icon to copy to the clipboard, and then I go and paste the screenshot somewhere, it shows up without any of my editings.

Steps to reproduce

1. run flameshot
2. take a screenshot
3. use the pencil to draw something
4. click on the copy to clipboard button
5. paste the screenshot in e.g. LibreOffice Writer

Screenshots or screen recordings

You can copy it to the clipboard. It's just hidden.

You need to deselect "Use JPG format for clipboard (PNG default)". I don't know why but ChatGPT told me that this is necessary.

A popup should explain this to new users.

The real solution is to make the "copy to clipboard" work fine with all settings. I think having your editings not appearing in the clipboard when using the PNG format is just a plain bug. Even more troublesome given that PNG is the default config (!!!!!!)

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering why the screenshots were never in the clipboard. I thought it was due to the multi-monitor problem, which I also have.

Now it works again, although not on the right monitor.
