I have KDE Plasma installed on two machines and I’m facing a very strange and annoying clipboard issue. Here’s the versions for the machine facing the issue:
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.113.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
Kernel Version: 6.6.10-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-11900 @ 2.50GHz
Memory: 62.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Graphics
Manufacturer: ASUS
Before I state the problem, I also need to add that I’m using the clipboard widget which stores up to 20 last copied items to report the history of my clipboard.
Now, the problem is that when I copy a new text item into the clipboard, it is moved to the second item of the clipboard history list every other time. I know this is very confusing. Let me explain it with an example.
I typed a list of numbers from 1 to 7 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) and copied each digit (one at a time) into the clipboard. The following is the progress of my clipboard history:
Copying 1:
empty
1
Copying 2:
2
empty
1
Copying 3:
2
3
empty
1
Copying 4:
4
2
3
empty
1
Copying 5:
4
5
2
3
empty
1
Copying 6:
6
4
5
2
3
empty
1
Copying 7:
6
7
4
5
2
3
empty

empty was the text in my clipboard before I started the test. And to make things even stranger, this problem is not always present. It happens once in a while when I log into my user account. I’m not quite sure when or how often this behaviour occurs but it’s very annoying. Also, this has nothing to do how you issue the “copy” command, keyboard or mouse (R-Click).
I was wondering if anyone else has faced the same issue before?
