Fritter stealing my clipboard data? Is Fritter a malware?!

This is nuts. Twice today, Fritter copied from the clipboard a password! And nothing else. I played around with it after noticing the first time. It only “pasted” the password. This is the screenshot of the second time (captured from a screen video recording). Is Fritter a malware??!

It’s a bug in the framework they use. Not caused by Fritter itself. See [BUG] The clipboard is being used when browsing a feed · Issue #238 · jonjomckay/fritter · GitHub

Thank you @ByteHamster for your reply and explanation. I am reassured slightly. I still don’t understand why the 2 times out of 5 or 6 attempts when Fritter “pasted” from the clipboard were for a password :unamused:

How would fritter know that the text in your clipboard is a password? Especially BEFORE pasting it :wink:
