Well it appears typing out the issue and troubleshooting ideas provided a solution.
I found the clipboard history file @ /home/<uid>/.local/share/klipper/history2.lst; however simply deleting/renaming it didn’t purge what was in memory as clicking the clipboard plasmoid/widget was still populated… so I clicked the “broom” to clear all history and it recreated an empty file.
Now she has gone through a few copy pates, and it is working perfectly fine.
What I suspect happened is that at one point she copied something with a “special character” that confused klipper; making it think that top entry was somehow the “start of the file” and so everything she copied next was shoved into position #2.
Anyway, all that to say that the fix was to:
- Click the clipboard plasmoid/widget
- Click the broom to clear history
- Click the Delete button to confirm the purging
