On the very first copy and paste event anki will freeze for a few seconds and on the next copy or paste event, anki crashes. Note: Copy or paste should be from or on the note fields. Anki crashes even with --safemode enabled I’ve attached the tail logs below: ```sh File "aqt", line 688, in _run File "aqt.main", line 199, in __init__ File "aqt.main", line 248, in finish_ui_setup File "aqt.toolbar", line 270, in draw File "/home/harshitsnghl/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/24411424/custom_shortcuts.py", line 618, in cs_toolbarCenterLinks tip=tr(TR.ACTIONS_SHORTCUT_KEY, val=config_scuts["main browse"]), File "anki._backend", line 166, in __call__ please use tr.message_name() instead of tr(TR.MESSAGE_NAME) File "", line 1, in File "aqt", line 489, in run File "aqt", line 688, in _run File "aqt.main", line 199, in __init__ File "aqt.main", line 248, in finish_ui_setup File "aqt.toolbar", line 270, in draw File "/home/harshitsnghl/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/24411424/custom_shortcuts.py", line 623, in cs_toolbarCenterLinks tr(TR.QT_MISC_STATS), File "anki._backend", line 166, in __call__ please use tr.message_name() instead of tr(TR.MESSAGE_NAME) File "", line 1, in File "aqt", line 489, in run File "aqt", line 688, in _run File "aqt.main", line 199, in __init__ File "aqt.main", line 248, in finish_ui_setup File "aqt.toolbar", line 270, in draw File "/home/harshitsnghl/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/24411424/custom_shortcuts.py", line 625, in cs_toolbarCenterLinks tip=tr(TR.ACTIONS_SHORTCUT_KEY, val=config_scuts["main stats"]), File "anki._backend", line 166, in __call__ please use tr.message_name() instead of tr(TR.MESSAGE_NAME) Starting main loop... conf key heatmap should be fetched with col.get_config(), and saved with col.set_config() conf key heatmap should be fetched with col.get_config(), and saved with col.set_config() conf key heatmap should be fetched with col.get_config(), and saved with col.set_config() mpv not found, reverting to mplayer conf key imgocc should be fetched with col.get_config(), and saved with col.set_config() conf key imgocc should be fetched with col.get_config(), and saved with col.set_config() conf key imgocc should be fetched with col.get_config(), and saved with col.set_config() JS warning /_anki/js/browser_editor.js:4 No version information available for component [tex]/noerrors JS warning /_anki/js/browser_editor.js:4 No version information available for component [tex]/mathtools JS warning /_anki/js/browser_editor.js:4 No version information available for component [tex]/mhchem Qt warning: QXcbClipboard: Selection request should be caught before Segmentation fault (core dumped) ``` I found this issue was there in Anki 2.1.54 htps://forums.ankiweb.net/t/error-copying-data-when-editing-a-note-field-anki-2-1-54/23147 Note: Add ‘t’ in ‘https://’ to open the link. ``` Anki 2.1.65 (aa9a734f) Python 3.9.15 Qt 6.5.0 PyQt 6.5.0 Platform: Linux-5.10.142-19743-gd301e86c39f7-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 Flags: frz=True ao=True sv=2 Add-ons, last update check: 2023-06-24 14:10:34 ===Add-ons (active)=== (add-on provided name [Add-on folder, installed at, version, is config changed]) Add Table ['1237621971', 2023-06-18T17:07, 'None', mod] Anki Simulator ['817108664', 2023-05-13T12:47, 'None', ''] Batch Editing ['291119185', 2023-02-10T09:10, 'None', ''] Colorful Tags Hierarchical Tags ['594329229', 2022-09-15T20:36, 'None', ''] Customize Keyboard Shortcuts ['24411424', 2022-09-14T14:42, 'None', mod] Image Occlusion Enhanced ['1374772155', 2022-04-09T12:45, 'None', ''] Review Heatmap ['1771074083', 2022-06-30T07:13, 'None', ''] ===IDs of active AnkiWeb add-ons=== 1237621971 1374772155 1771074083 24411424 291119185 594329229 817108664 ===Add-ons (inactive)=== (add-on provided name [Add-on folder, installed at, version, is config changed]) ``` Please look into this ASAP.

Built and ran Anki 2.1.66 and things are working fine there. Application is not crashing on copy paste actions. Thanks team for the fix. ---

Could someone tell me the tentative release date of Anki 2.1.66 ? ---

It sounds like the bumped Qt version helped in your case. A release is probably at least a month away, including beta testing time. ---
