I've just checked on my KDE Neon User Edition with 5.21.2 but I can't replicate this. I have an empty clipboard and it shows. Are you able to test with a new user account and see if the issue is there? possibly related to Bug 434419 I'll try it again at the weekend with a different user and with the docker image, I'll read up on the other issue too. Bit pressed for time at the minute though. But thanks for the replies. Can confirm. Clearing all entries on wayland produces a single empty entry rather than actually emptying the clipboard. However I believe that this may be intentional, as Klipper has a setting called "Prevent empty clipboard" and it is on by default. If I turn it off, then no empty entry is created when I clear the whole clipboard. So this may be a case of the feature actually working properly on Wayland, but that feature's implementation is a bit odd and maybe it shouldn't be on by default--but nobody ever noticed or cared before because it was broken on X11! Can you confirm the above? *** Bug 434419 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Nate, but when the clipboard is not empty then introducing empty entry doesn't make sense. I have disabled prevent empty clipboard option and I still get empty entry sitting on the top most of the time. $ lspci | grep -ie 3d -e vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06) 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M] (rev a2) I am on not on wayland as far as I can tell. I am using standard Fedora 33. If you aren't on Wayland then this bug doesn't apply to you, and you should file a new one. I did file one but Wayland was forced into it and was marked as duplicate. Anyways I have removed Wayland tag and marker as not duplicate. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434419 This issue seems to of been resolved by the latest set of updates. I can nolonger reproduce the issue please fell free to close this issue. |
