maim screenshots copied to the clipboard won't paste in certain cases.

I made an issue on this on the st-flexipatch repository believing the st terminal to be the issue, however I now believe it to be to do with maim/xclip.
bakkeby/st-flexipatch#69
My issue is explained and expanded on there. Essentially when I do something like
maim -u -f png | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
And then try to paste it into Discord in Firefox, Firefox will freeze entirely for a few seconds and nothing will happen, although sometimes it does work, a significant amount of the time it just freezes Firefox. I've had this issue for quite a while now, and I tried to use things like flameshot as a workaround but now I'd really just love to fix it properly.

Fixed by installing xclip-git
xclip needs to be updated in the arch repos as it's 2 years old

That's not even a problem in Arch, since the latest relese of xclip is 0.13, and Arch ships exactly this version. I will leave an issue at xclip repository and ask them to prepare a new release.
