[BUG] yank-media doesn't work

[BUG] yank-media doesn't work

[the_wurfkreuz via General discussions about Org-mode.]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 929 bytes --]

When using the yank-media command to paste images, the results are inconsistent. This issue persists even when running Emacs with emacs -Q.

In some instances, the command successfully pastes the image.
At other times, it fails with the message: "yank-media: No handler in the current buffer for anything on the clipboard."
Alternatively, it may display: "Timed out waiting for property-notify event."

Occasionally, attempting the command twice in quick succession results in success on the second attempt, though this is rare.
Copying images directly from a web browser using the "Copy Image" option generally works without issue.However, copying images using the command grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy or from Telegram often results in the aforementioned errors.
Emacs : GNU Emacs 30.0.91 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.43, cairo version 1.18.0)

I am assuming that you're running the PGTK build.  I am quite sure this
is the same bug as bug#72254.  How recent is the build of your Emacs 30?
Does it include the fix for bug#72254: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-30&id=11e7ae3964e192b0e4bcc437a04278ee727e720b

Compiled to the latest version 'GNU Emacs 31.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2024-12-16' and for now it looks like the problem is gone.

Ah, no, the problem is still here.

> I am assuming that you're running the PGTK build

I compiled emacs with gtk3:

 ./configure --with-tree-sitter \
    --with-gif --with-png --with-jpeg --with-tiff \
    --with-imagemagick --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-xwidgets \
    --without-rsvg \
    WEBKIT_CFLAGS="$(pkg-config --cflags webkit2gtk-4.1)" \
    WEBKIT_LIBS="$(pkg-config --libs webkit2gtk-4.1)" \
    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/14/include" \
    --with-mailutils

I'm running emacs on wayland.

Also, it seems as if the bug is easier to trigger if i copy an image from teleram in comparison to other things i've tried. But i'm not completely sure about this.

I am on Xorg and using the Lucid toolkit.  I cannot reproduce this when
I copy an image from Telegram.  When you get this again, could you try
evaluating

    (gui-get-selection 'CLIPBOARD 'TARGETS)

?  If you can find a reliable reproducer from emacs -Q, please file a
bug report with the reproduction steps clearly written using M-x
report-emacs-bug RET as this is clearly an Emacs bug, not an Org one.

It gives this:

[TIMESTAMP TARGETS SAVE_TARGETS MULTIPLE STRING UTF8_STRING TEXT chromium/x-source-url text/html text/plain text/plain\;charset=utf-8]

Also, it works correctly if i switch from wayland to X11.

No wonder nothing happened.  There's no image/* element here so we
cannot do anything here.  What does text/html contain?  (But I do not
want to go into the rabbit hole of extracting the image from the HTML
string, and insert it, etc.  I will delegate the job to someone more
strong-willed than me.)

Are non-PGTK configurations supported outside of X11?  I would assume
not.  This could be a source of trouble too.

In any case, nothing much can be done from Org's side.  This is clearly
an Emacs bug (or a mismatch of user environment and toolkit).

Canceled.
