OK I have a solid repro.
I program using CLion (my expectation is that it’d work with any kind of smart clipboard application)
if I copy some file/folder in CLion then close CLion, then open Brave 1.70 and click on the title bar, then Brave can lock up.
It’s important to close the application (the source of the clipboard content is closed).
1.69: Brave will lock up if I have some content in the clipboard like above, then click on the address bar, then paste the content. Deadlock.
If I run the same thing in a guest profile, I get the same deadlock.
1.70: Brave will lock up if I have some content in the clipboard like above, then click on the address bar. I don’t need to try and paste. It seems to be that Brave wants to access the clipboard content at an earlier point.
1.71 (beta): does not seem to lock up in any way.
