I want to use cudatext on opensuse aeon. It's a gnome desktop, and when I click on the menus, the dropdown shows up not below the entry,but at a fixed point in the screen (far away from the cudatext window). I'm not sure why this is, it makes it very difficult to use cuda.

Any idea what could be going on? This is cudatext installed from flathub (that is, a flatpak coming from fedora I think). In case the packaging is the problem.

Thanks!

It was a known Lazarus issue. fixed in the Git of lazarus. I use lazarus from Git so _my_ versions are fixed. you use different build compiled with older lazarus, so it's not fixed.

tell the authors of the package, to use Lazarus fixes_3_0 git branch.

Thanks Alexey. This is coming from flathub so not sure how to reach the packager.
There's one more issue, The clipboard is not shared with the rest of the OS. Weird. I'm new to flatpak, this might be daily life with that kind of pseudo-containers?

The cudatext flathub version has 1000s of downloads, and it's pretty broken. Might be worth it to chase them down. I'll try.

>this might be daily life with that kind of pseudo-containers?
Seems yes. in the usual version, clipboard is shared.

Maybe Flatpak allows the clipboard sharing, but author of the package did not activate it?

Do you use Qt5 version or Gtk2? only Qt5 one was fixed in lazarus.

Qt5
I looked into this. There's an app called flatseal https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal but toying around with the options there didn't fix the clipboard integration with the OS

Similar problem (clipboard gets cleared), different app on flatpak: https://github.com/flathub/org.keepassx ... C/issues/8

I tried their solution, QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
on flatseal, I went to environment variables, and I added that.
It prevents cudatext from launching

2 users did not reproduce problem with 'shared clipboard' of Flatpak version.
so I don't know what to fix.
