"stream did not contain valid UTF-8"

Hi,

getting an error message when I do:
cliphist list | kickoff --from-stdin --stdout

How can I fix this?

Running latest 0.74 on openSUSE Tumbleweed (hyprland).

Hi,
could you send me the output of the cliphist command as a file? You can generate it like this:

cliphist list > cliphist-output.txt

Check the file for secrets before you send it, as password might have been in your history!
I'm not absolutely sure if copy and paste could swallow potentially invalid characters, hence the stdout to file.

Don't know what happened but now it works.

Happens again. I can narrow it down to the last copy line.
cliphist-output.txt

Didn't copy complete text. It stops an the word "VW-Händler" which shows up as VW-HÃ
The Text was written and copied from scite editor. I can paste it into terminal and any text field.

It ends on c3, which starts with 110 in binary. According to the UTF-8 standard, this indicates that another byte is needed to complete the character, but your file ends there. The next byte would have to be A4 to correctly display an ä
