Description B 2014-05-04 13:17:25 UTC 
Klipper is an awesome tool!  I use it all the time, but I like to clear the clipboard history from time to time, but under Kubuntu 14.04 LTS x64, Klipper fails to Clear Clipboard History, when manually selected.  The work around now - I have to select from config menu, to not save clipboard history on exit, then reboot computer.  Is this a 64bit issue, as I used to run Kubuntu 12.04.4 LTS x86 with PAE (for some reason 14.04 x86 fails to itialize PAE, so I had to switch to x64 to utilize all my RAM 16G).  I love how snappy x64 is, much quicker than x86.  This hopefully will be a easy fix, sounds like the clearing function is looking to the wrong folder to clear.. or doesn't have proper permissions?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on Klipper
2.select clear clipboard history
3.click on Klipper to see if cleared, it fails..
Actual Results:  
1.click on Klipper
2.select clear clipboard history
3.click on Klipper to see if cleared, it fails..

Expected Results:  
Clipboard history is still present.

Cipboard should be empty.

Note:  Prevent Empty Clipboard does nothing.  I've tried toggled and not.  Same result.

Do you get a message dialog "Really delete entire clipboard history?" if you invoke the "Clear Clipboard History" menu item?

waiting for more info - works fine for me.

Hello, sorry for the long delay, this seams to only happens on one of my
machines.   I have Kubuntu 14.04 installed on 4 machines, the other three
are win7 dual boot.  The machine which has this problem has only linux on
it, but it is also a web server, team speak server, and therefore is on a
DMZ part of my network.  To answer your question, Yes, Klipper did ask the
regular prompt, and I put a check in the box, do not ask again, so it does
not show up any more.  Being my only native install on Kubuntu 14.04 LTS -
I figured it had to be a bug in Klipper or the new KDE.

I have noticed something else to add, is if I select to 'save clipboard
contents on exit', then the list keeps on building with everything I
highlight.  So I leave the box unchecked, and log off, log on, then it's
clear..  It's not that big of a deal, as I don't have to do a full reboot,
just very strange..

might it be that you by accident clicked "No" when you checked the "do not ask again"?
