copy text from google breaks clipster with python2 about clipster HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi - thanks for reporting this bug. I've just had a quick test of this and I can't seem to replicate the issue.

Can you provide the following:

1. Name and version of the browser you're using.
2. Exact steps to make the search and select in google.
3. The DEBUG messages (at least one loop's worth) from clipster.

Thanks!

I've tried to work out a minimal case, but I'm sorry to say I haven't found exactly how to trigger it.
This is the closest I've gotten:

1. Firefox 49.0 on NixOS, with a fresh new profile.

a) go to google.com
b) search clipster
c) select some text with the mouse. clipster is fine
d) again select some text with the mouse. clipster goes wild.
3) http://pastebin.com/Nxg4dyCt

After this, I get an empty menu when running: clipster -o -n 200 -0 | rofi -i -dmenu -sep '\x00' -eh 2 -p paste: | tr -d '\n' | clipster.
On the other hand, clipster -cs still works fine.
After I delete the history file and rerun the daemon, both commands work again.

I just double-checked with python3, and it turns out that clipster doesn't go into an endless loop, but it does still produce an empty rofi menu when following the above steps.

Thanks for this - line 35 of the full logs provided the clue to (yet another instance) where unicode wasn't handled properly for 2.x:

 if self.read_board(boards[0]) != text:

This failure meant the clipboard contents never matched and it got stuck in a loop copying back and forth between boards.

This should now be fixed in 9848f06.

Please grab the latest version of clipster and let me know if this fixes the bug for you.

Thanks!

Thanks, that fixes it.
I still get an empty rofi menu sometimes, but I'll open a new issue for that when I have a bit more concrete information.
