This also happen with copy of text. When I copy some text from a text file opened in Kwrite, I can paste it anywhere as long as I've the text file still opened in Kwrite. If I close the Kwrite instance and try to paste it somewhere, nothing happens.

It sounds like klipper isn't running, maybe. Is it active in your system tray? Can you pin it open and see what it has in it when you reproduce the issue?

Comment 2 ssergio-ll 2019-12-03 09:14:05 UTC

Is true. I did not have active on my tray. Now i can copy and paste but i don't want this icon in my tray and if hidden it this don't run. It is a little subrealist. 

Is there no way to hide it and make it work?

Thanks.

Comment 3 David Edmundson 2019-12-03 09:22:58 UTC

Hide, sure. See system tray settings.

Have it not running, no.

Comment 4 ssergio-ll 2019-12-03 09:28:00 UTC

But if I hide it then happen that I said in the first post.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2019-12-04 17:50:35 UTC

No. If Klipper is running, it has to be in your system tray, or else you would have no means to interact with it and configure it. If you remove it from your system tray, it won't be running, and this feature won't work.

If it bothers you, change its visiblity to hidden and then it will only appear in the expanded pop-up.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2019-12-04 17:52:20 UTC

And by "change its visibility to hidden" I mean "go to the "Entries" page in the config window and change it to "Hidden". Do NOT uncheck it on the "General" page. That turns it off entirely.

yes, this is a somewhat confusing UI. We plan to fix it soon.
