KDE clipboard ignore selection not selectable

I want to set the clipboard in KDE to not copy text until I select copy.
in the clipboard setting the option to “ignore selection” is greyed out not able to enable it. is something wrong or missing? how can I change this please?

It’s available for me but does interact (get enabled/disabled) depending on “Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection” box below.
Try checking/unchecking the latter one (perhaps also needing to “apply” and/or close/reopen the settings) to see if it becomes available.

thanks. had to toggle Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection 8 times and reboot twice before it would show up.
