Bug ID: 440617
Summary: Copy/Paste will randomly not work
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: and_...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Some variations of this bug seem to have been reported some years ago. In KDE,
copy paste seems to not work occasionally. This is happening in X, unlike some
previous bug reports which indicated the bug was only on Wayland.
Sometimes, the copy to clipboard function will simply not work (either my mouse
clicking or keyboard Ctr+C). This behaviour seems to be random and there seems
to be no correlation between GTK or Qt apps. Repeating the copy to clipboard
some times will eventually copy the intended element but this is very annoying.
If anything, I noticed this happens more between different programs rather than
between the same program, but I might be wrong.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Due to the randomness of this bug, its not exactly clear how to reproduce.
1. Copy an element to clipboard
2. Paste somewhere else
OBSERVED RESULT
Any item should be copied after the first copy has been issued, either by mouse
or keyboard.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sometimes, pasting will either pasting the previously copied element or nothing
at all, if no previous element was present on the clipboard, indicating that
the copy didn't work.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Not much I can add, this is a really random and difficult to reproduce bug. I
asked in Reddit and some people report the same. Reddit link:
