 Hello everyone,

After upgrading to Actual Window Manager 8.15.2, the Clipboard History pop-up would not appear. Nothing happened. Tried disabling/enabling the feature, clearing the clipboard, changing the keyboard shortcut. No luck.

However, I just managed to solve it. I had to delete ClipboardHistory.dat and restart AWM. It now seems to work normally. I'll post here if it reoccurs.

 I'll post here a slightly different issue. It's not related to the above.

I often backup my AWM configuration from my main PC (1920x1080 monitor) and restore it to my laptop (1366x768). I just noticed that on the laptop, the Clipboard History pop-up does appear (it is on the Taskbar) but it goes off screen and is not visible, or accessible.

It can be brought back in with the Alt+Space+Move method, but perhaps this could be improved. Thanks.

 The issue described in the first post reappeared.

Perhaps there's a bug in version 8.15.2 which more frequently corrupts the ClipboardHistory.dat file?

 Thank you for a follow-up.

There is nothing specific in 8.15.2 that relates to the Clipboard History feature (probably, only if very indirectly).

It would be great if you could find the specific conditions/actions that force the issue to reappear (to fix it, we have to reproduce it so we need something to start with).

Thank you!

 I couldn't reproduce it, so I assume it was something random/unimportant.

Please consider post #2 above about importing settings into different resolutions, and also something else:

I noticed the Clipboard history pop-up will often "reset" its size (not sure about position), usually after a PC restart, so I have to manually resize (=enlarge) it frequently.

Please consider making it always remember its previous size/position, no matter what the current clipboard contents are.

 Sorry, I'm back to the original issue since it did not go away after all.

I do put the PC to "Sleep" fairly often, and I just noticed the issue now occurred (i.e. the pop-up does not appear) after "waking" the PC.

I did another sleep/wake test (after fixing the issue, as described in 1st post) but it did not occur this time.
