Windows Clipboard is cleared when the client is closed

[DominikSchaller]

Hi,
when I copy something from the Jamulus client (e.g., an IP address) with CTRL+C and close the application, it is deleted from the Windows clipboard. I think this is not the expected behavior. At least for me it was annoying, because usually I copy something, then close the app, then try to paste it, it doesn't work so I think I didn't copy it correctly, go back etc. etc.
So for me the expected behavior would be that copied content stays in the clipboard, this is how other Windows programs behave.

I guess this is something in Qt which we may not be able to modify inside the Jamulus application.

Sorry for the maintenance noise here.

Indeed, this issue is strange. @DominikSchaller I hope Qt 6 support (just merged) resolves this issue. Can you compile with Qt6? If that doesn't help, please update the issue description to the bug report template. Hopefully someone takes this issue up then.

Note: I will unsubscribe from this issue and won’t receive responses from any new comments. If you have any questions concerning maintenance, feel free to ping me.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-11616 might be relevant (in other words: it seems to be expected behavior and there might be workarounds via the Windows-specific API, OleFlushClipboard)
