Flameshot no longer can paste to clipboard

Started from today my daily updated Arch system can no longer paste screenshots created by Flameshot to anywhere. GNOME screenshot tool works though, so it might be related to flameshot.

I tried to debug as

flameshot gui > ~/flameshot_debug.log 2>&1

and only checked journalctl logs, but found only this:

Aug 08 11:45:23 manta xdg-desktop-por[2914]: Failed to associate portal window with parent window ''
Aug 08 11:45:23 manta flameshot[29911]: QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to SidePanelWidget "", which already has a layout

Aug 08 11:45:23 manta flameshot[29911]: QPainter::drawEllipse: Painter not active

What could cause my clipboard no longer picking up the shots, while it does with GNOME's tool? How can I debug this further?

Additionally, downgrading to 12.1.0-6 from here https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/f/flameshot/ makes it work again. Likely we need to wait for upstream to fix the issue.
