I already noticed this behavior on neon dev unstable.

Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-01-22 09:40:58 UTC

Make sure "Prevent empty clipboard" option in Clipboard settings is disabled.

This doesn't always help. Currently I cannot empty my clipboard even with this disabled.

Comment 7 phd 2019-08-05 21:59:35 UTC

Is this duplicated with https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409366 ?

Comment 8 phd 2020-04-03 11:42:35 UTC

If this was caused by the same issue as
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409366
than this should be fixed in Plasma 5.18.0.

Can you check if it works find for you in that or later version?
