Can confirm, but only on Wayland. There are no issues on X11.

Operating System: Manjaro Linux

Kernel Version: 5.9.6-2-MANJARO
OS Type: 64-bit

I re-tested recently:
 - Under Wayland, it's working perfectly with 1 entry, selection and clipboard can paste two different things and don't interfere with each other.
 - Under X11, it still have the first reported behavior.
 - Under X11, if "Prevent empty clipboard" is ticked, Selection will erase clipboard (like if they were merged together).
 - Under X11, increasing clipboard history limit to "2 entry" still solve the issue.

I'll post my info here rather than a new bug, as the above looks the same. I'm getting it in X11, not Wayland.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Reduce clipboard to 1 entry only.
2. Create a folder in home directory.
3. Enter the directory & create a text file.
4. Right-click & copy the file.
5. Right click to paste, but no paste option exists on menu.
6. Right click on the same file again & copy.
7. Right-click & paste, and 'Paste one file' option now exists as it should.

OBSERVED RESULT: As above.

EXPECTED RESULT: Paste option to be available upon the first attempt.

Updating title based on the last two comments to be about X11
