xfce 4.20 screenshooter does not work with xfce4-clipman

I upgraded to xfce4 4.20 in my Ubuntu 24.04.2

After the upgrade, xfce4-screenshooter cannot send clipboard to xfce4-clipman.

I downgraded to xfce4 4.18 and it worked again.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Re: xfce 4.20 screenshooter does not work with xfce4-clipman

Hello and welcome.

I upgraded to xfce4 4.20 in my Ubuntu 24.04.2

How? PPA or manual build.

After the upgrade, xfce4-screenshooter cannot send clipboard to xfce4-clipman.

Is the option not present or does the transfer not happen?
If the former, are you running on wayland?
If the latter, are there any error messages in ~/.xsession-errors?

On Wayland, xfce4-screenshooter not show item "Copy to the clipboard"
On X11 is show and is send to xfce4-clipman (in both case: "running xfce4-clipman" or "added clipman applet to panel")
