Description Bojan 2004-12-15 20:56:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

Open text file. Copy text. Close text file.
Open another text file. Icon for Paste is enabled.
Press paste. Nothing is pasted.

Paste icon should not be enabled.

Is it even possible to use copy and paste, without clipper, when source text file is closed?

That's how clipboard works on X if you don't use a clipboard manager
Comment 2 Bojan 2004-12-16 00:54:09 UTC 
Shouldn't paste icon be disabled?
Nothing is pasted, when you press paste.
Comment 3 Lubos Lunak 2004-12-17 17:47:02 UTC 
The icon should be disabled if there's nothing to paste. But that's no generic kdelibs problem, so please direct it at the specific application which has the problem.

After a second thought, this needs to be addressed in libraries first. Applications should check whether there's something in the clipboard, but first the notifications about it must work reliably.

This issue is still reproducible using KDE4 (trunk)
Comment 9 Christoph Feck 2011-07-26 14:36:28 UTC 
Lubos, does it need to be fixed in Qt, or is the KClipboard class the problem?
Comment 10 Lubos Lunak 2011-08-01 13:32:21 UTC 
I believe QClipboard can now monitor properly all clipboard changes, so if there's still a problem with some application, please report the problem for that application.
