Description Alexander Kandaurov 2012-02-12 08:25:05 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Context menu on left click is displayed correctly only after right clicking the tray icon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Klipper outside of KDE.
2. Copy several fragments of text to the clipboard.
3. Right click and then left click the tray icon.
4. Select some fragment. If you try to paste the clipboard contents, selected fragment will be pasted.
5. Left click the tray icon again. Note the fragment order not changed and no check mark appeared on the left of the selected fragment.
6. Now right click the tray icon. As you can see, the selected fragment got the check mark and is placed at the top of the list.
7. Left click the tray icon. Now the menu looks exactly as it did after right clicking.
8. After left clicking the icon select Clear clipboard history.
9. Left click the tray icon again; the clipboard history is still viewable. By the way, this can be a security issue.
10. Only after right clicking the icon the history list is actually cleared.


Expected Results:  
Left click context menu behaving exactly as the right click one.

This bug is for 4.8.0, not 5.15.3. so I'm marking this as resolved unmaintained.
