Polluted clipboard history
SUMMARY
The Table Selection Tool copies the selection to the clipboard everytime the
table layout is changed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
(1. Open the clipboard and make it sticky (Possible in Plasma 5))
2. Select a table using the Table Selection Tool
3. Divide the table in another layout than suggested by Okular
OBSERVED RESULT
After 2.: The table is immediately copied to the clipboard
After 3.: Everytime a line is added or removed from the table layout, a new
version of the selection is copied to the clipboard. Older clipboard entries
get lost.
Additionally: There is no context menu entry for "Copy", which would be
intuitive, I think.
EXPECTED RESULT
The table is copied to the clipboard when the action "Copy" is triggered (e. g.
by pressing Ctrl+C).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Okular version: 1.5.3
Operating System: KDE neon 5.14
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
Qt Version: 5.11.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is an info message appearing in the top left when the Table Selection
Tool is activated. It says: "Draw a rectangle around the table, then click near
the edges do divide up; press Esc to clear." It doesn't mention the clipboard,
altough is vital for this tool. We could add "Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard;" or
"right click to copy to clipboard;" or ...
