Package: autokey-gtk
Version: 0.90.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream, patch
autokey-gtk hangs when using the selection / clipboard functions as GTK wants a
length argument added to set_text().
-1 means "use size() to find out yourself".
Sample autokey script:
clipboard.fill_clipboard("Debian rocks")
keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+v")
Sample error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/service.py", line 454, in
execute
exec script.code in scope
File "<string>", line 11, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/scripting.py", line 837, in
fill_clipboard
self.clipBoard.set_text(contents.encode("utf-8"))
TypeError: set_text() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)
