Is this under GNOME 3? or KDE/plasma? Do you have a clipboard manager
running?



* Why does it take that long?
It doesn't, here.

* What can developers do to speed up the error message in such a
situation?
Fix the bug, but that involves understanding whenand why it happens and
what is causing it.


* By the way: Is there a method such that one can see what type of
data is on the clipboard: text/image/file designation/spreadsheet
data, ...?

Again, depends on desktop enviroment and whether wayland or X11, but
yes, there are clipboard managers that can show it. KDE has one running
all the time i think.
