Description lithi 2016-08-26 02:21:11 UTC

When performing cutting/pasting operations in a desktop session it triggers something with kdeconnect and I see entries like this in syslog:

Aug 25 11:50:48 bodhi org.kde.kdeconnect[10441]: QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old
Aug 25 11:52:11 bodhi org.kde.kdeconnect[10441]: message repeated 4902 times: [ QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old]

The desktop system essentially freezes at this point and the system must be rebooted.  I solved the problem by uninstalling kdeconnect kdeconnect-plasma and rebooting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set up KDEConnect to connect with other devices
2.  Perform copy/paste operations in a desktop session


Actual Results:  
Session freezes.

Expected Results:  
Session should not freeze.  Copy/paste operations should not cause crash.

I listed this as Grave as it kills the desktop session.

Am now using Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety" which has kdeconnect version 0.8-0ubuntu5 and this issue no longer occurs.

Comment 3 lithi 2016-11-05 23:21:35 UTC

I did not mark status as "resolved" since users on 16.04 LTS release may still be affected by it.

Comment 4 Benedikt Geißler 2016-11-05 23:27:30 UTC

Since summer I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed (currently with kdeconnect 1.0.1, 'kdeconnect-cli' says 1.0) now and did not experience this issue during the last weeks, too.

Issue is fixed.
