[Robert Tuck <418242@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, please fix this. I had the workaround but lost it after an upgrade
to my system. Now I have to add it again.

Please do something, **anything** to fix this. It is the #1 most
annoying bug in Inkscape, (of which there are many). I think I speak for
many when I say, basically, if there is something on the clipboard and
Inkscape can't read it and it generates an error:

* I don't care.
* Don't bug me about it.

Title:
  Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on
  copy

Status in Inkscape:

Status in inkscape package in Arch Linux:

Status in inkscape package in Debian:

Status in Gentoo Linux:

Bug description:
  UPDATE: After further investigation it turned out to be a problem related to the copy operation, in combination with a totally unrelated running Java program (FreeRapid).
  Reading some followups and other bug reports, it seems to be caused by the new clipboard management system (introduced as a fix for the bug #170185), as reported in bug #421597

  So far these applications are known to randomly trigger an input/output extension (on linux):
  - FreeRapid Downloader
  - jDownloader
  - xfce4-clipman-plugin 1.1.3
  - Netbeans
  - xfce4-settings-helper (Xfce 4.8)
  - Team Viewer (teamviewerd 10.0.36)

  The original report was this:
  I'm getting this error when I try to edit a text object created previously with a font that's not available in this system.
  It looks like Inkscape has problems to resolve the font substitution and displays the error message in a popup window that keeps appearing again and again, leaving no other remedy than closing inkscape and reopening it.

  The error message is attached.
