For several months now, I have noticed an issue with the clipboard functionality in IodéOS (although the problem might be coming from Heliboard or LineageOS). After a few hours of operation, it often happens that the “copy-paste” function stops working, and I am unable to paste text. To resolve this, I have to go into the applications settings and force stop the Heliboard application for the clipboard function to work again. Have any of you experienced this issue? If you have any solutions, I would be grateful to hear them.
Is it only when pasting content that has been copied some hours back that nothing is pasted, or do you mean that after it starts misbehaving then copy / paste of new text as well won’t work until you restart the keyboard?
I’m experiencing an issue where copying and pasting new text doesn’t work until I restart the keyboard. I’ve also noticed that apps requiring biometric authentication instead of a password (such as banking apps or password managers) don’t display the biometric authentication button. This forces me to use a password until I restart the keyboard. Once the keyboard is restarted, the message “Apply your finger to the sensor” reappears.
It seems that this issue has been fixed by the latest Heliboard update, so big ups to the Iodé team!
You can go to the settings of heliboard and change the time to recall your copied text up to “no limit”…
In the german version, this is under “Optionen” (most likely “options” in english) right down at the bottom “Speicherdauer des Zwischenablage-Verlaufs”.
You might need to activate the clipboard-history right above that.
Of course: iodéOS 6.6 on a Fairphone 5. And yes, restarting Heliboard does the trick. But because it’s annoying, I also installed Fossify Board. So when the clipboard stops working, I switch keyboards (from Heliboard to Fossify) and it starts working again
