Summary: Multiple Instances of the 'Clipboard' Widget
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.4
Platform: Kubuntu

Severity: normal

My Desktop after reboot
SUMMARY
On each reboot, multiple instances of the Clipboard widget icon appear in the
system tray and one appears on the desktop.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Boot the machine.
OBSERVED RESULT
Since I upgraded my desktop machine to Kubuntu 22.10, I have had this extremely
annoying problem. Initially, the 'Clipboard' icon in the system tray was not
present. AFAICR, this had always been present in previous versions (Maybe I
explicitly installed it many years ago and it had always been carried over
during upgrades). Anyway it was found MIA.
Using the 'Add Widgets' menu item I got it back, but I now have no less than 6
instances running (five in the system tray and one on the desktop, see
screenshot attached.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only one Clipboard icon in the system tray
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.19.0-26 / 5.26.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I initially raised this as a question on 'Ubuntu Answers' and then raised it as
a bug on Launchpad, but have yet to receive any helpful responses.
Also, this may be irrelevant, but I have noticed another error that I have not
seen before.
I found that the audio player Clementine appeared a bit buggy since I installed
22.10 and after a bit of research I found that it was no longer supported. I
therefore removed it and installed Strawberry. This works fine, but I cannot
make it remember which Activity I want it to start in; it always starts in
whatever Activity I was in when I shut down the previous session.
Looking at the preferences file for plasma, I see that the modified time is
equivalent to when I rebooted and not when I moved strawberry from my Games
Activity to my Multimedia Activity.
