Chromium and the clipboard issue

I don't know how many of you guys are using pwsafe as password manager. It is a CLI application that stores usernames and passwords which are protected by a master password.

Basically the command pwsafe -up puts first username and then password in the X clipboard.

This works very well with firefox. If I go, for instance, on gmail and I use pwsafe -up the first middleclick on the username field pastes my gmail username and the second middleclick pastes the password.

It doesn't work with chromium though. When I try I only get the second paste. The first clipboard content gets skipped. So basically instead of the username the first middleclick pastes the password. If I try only with username (pwsafe -u) and I paste in the username field it doesn't paste anything. So for some obscure reason chromium pastes only the second content in the clipboard and not the first.

Any suggestion on how could I solve this problem?

Re: Chromium and the clipboard issue

Searching the Chromium issues list for clipboard gets a lot of results:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list

You can just post the bug there and if its a duplicate, the devs will merge it.
