Description markuss 2010-03-01 18:56:27 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux

This bug seems to affect only non-Qt apps.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a non-Qt app (I tried Firefox and OpenOffice).
2. Select text and copy it.
3. Close the app and try to past the text into another app.

Weird thing is: The text appears in Klipper's tray menu. I have to select it first to be able to paste it again.
I tried enabling and disabling the "Prevent empty clipboard" option, but without any success.

This bug might be related to Bug 228776. It might even be a dupe.
I'm not sure.

I believe this is a QT bug, I'll need to whip up a patch when I can.

Comment 2 Ivan Andrianov 2010-04-10 14:37:12 UTC

I have this problem with Qt applications too.

You forgot to backport it to the current stable branch

Comment 7 Clara Gnos 2010-06-09 14:48:30 UTC

And it is still there for non-qt apps. So please repoen the bug or I will recreate a new one

Comment 8 Clara Gnos 2010-06-09 14:50:31 UTC

And then the xsel is used instead of the xclipboard content when an application closes and the last thing I have done is not copying but selecting (so both buffers have the same content after closing the app instead of different as it should be).

Comment 9 Clara Gnos 2010-06-09 14:51:57 UTC

And for example when I open firefox, copy text, select some other text it is possible to insert both buffers independent in kate. But when I close firefox then both buffers are empty.

This bug is not fixed completely. Still present on KDE 4.5 beta 2.
After closing a Qt app works fine now, but closing Firefox still has the same problem.

Please reopen.

Comment 12 Philipp A. 2010-10-04 17:59:45 UTC

am i right that the behavior of emptying the clipboard after application close is intended if the “avoid empty clipboard” option in klipper is disabled?

if not, what does this option do?

Comment 13 Esben Mose Hansen 2010-10-04 20:05:34 UTC

@12 you are right, and yes, it is broken. Sorry.
