Paste fails when frame contains multiple copies about sugar HOT 4 OPEN

Can confirm. The original test case was 0.110 on several machines, mostly running Ubuntu 17.04. The latest 2 cases were on 17.10 systems, one on a Toshiba (technically running System76's Pop!_OS, which is Ubuntu with a few cosmetic changes), and one on a MacBook Pro running Ubuntu MATE 17.10. @quozl tested for 0.112.

Seems like it's throwing a null pointer someplace.

EDIT 1: Any clipping, not just text, behaves this way. I tested with an image I made, posted to Imgur, and copied directly (hotlink-style).

Unable to reproduce

• started Sugar 0.112,
• started Terminal,
• displayed some text
• selected and copied some text using ctrl+shift+c; No frame appears
• selected and copied some other text using ctrl+shift+c; Again, no frame appears
• pasted the text using ctrl+shift+v,

Observed result:

• The recent clipping is pasted

Tested on:
Ubuntu 16.04, rdesktop. Sugar 0.112

Reproduced on Ubuntu 16.04 with Sugar 0.112 as a VM.

Reproduced on Ubuntu 16.04 with Sugar 0.112 as a native desktop on real hardware.

I don't expect rdesktop to fully emulate the native environment, so I'm not surprised rdesktop does not reproduce this problem. As it reproduces with a VM, your best bet to reproduce (if you need to) is down that path. rdesktop is not an expected use-case.

@quozl, Thank you for the detailed explanation
