Issues with parcellite

Hi all!

I'm switching from xfce4-clipman to parcellite due to this bug http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/ … documents/
However, parcellite doesn't behave as I want. Say I open an odt, copy (ctrl+c) some text, then close LO Writer. Copied text appears in parcellite's list, but it's not selected (ie it's not bold). It is selected as long as LO Writer is open, but once closed, it gets deselected. I can select it from the list, but that's not what I want. Any ideas? This is my ~/.config/parcellite/parcelliterc:

[rc]
use_copy=true
use_primary=false
synchronize=false
save_history=true
history_pos=false
history_x=1
history_y=1
history_limit=25
data_size=0
automatic_paste=false
auto_key=false
auto_mouse=true
key_input=false
restore_empty=true
rc_edit=false
type_search=false
case_search=false
ignore_whiteonly=false
trim_wspace_begend=false
trim_newline=false
hyperlinks_only=false
confirm_clear=true
current_on_top=true
single_line=true
reverse_history=false
item_length=50
persistent_history=false
persistent_separate=false
persistent_on_top=false
persistent_delim=\\n
nonprint_disp=false
ellipsize=2
multi_user=true
menu_key=<Ctrl><Alt>P
history_key=<Ctrl><Alt>H
phistory_key=<Ctrl><Alt>X
actions_key=<Ctrl><Alt>A

Re: Issues with parcellite

change these to true.

use_primary=false
synchronize=false

Re: Issues with parcellite

I think this must be an issue with LibreOffice, not with parcellite. use_primary and synchronize are now true, but the problem persists. However, I've realized that:

I open an odt with LO Writer, copy (ctrl+c) some text, paste it on geany (it works), close LO Writer, try to paste on geany, it fails (text is in parcellite's list, but it's not selected).

I open a plain text file with geany, copy (ctrl+c) some text, paste it on LO Writer (it works), close geany, paste on LO Writer (it works too!).

Re: Issues with parcellite

As far as I'm aware, LO clears its clipboard when it closes. I'm not aware of an option to disable this (though I don't use it much, so it may exist).
This is probably the reason for the behaviour?
