*** Bug 445167 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Oh wow I never would have thought to hook it up to another computer. * For me it puts the clipboard content as second item into the clipboard history, so it still only copies the entry which was before and now is still at the top. I believe though that's through resetting the clipboard back to the previous value. * It also happens to me only on every second paste attempt. * It happens on Wayland and X11. I checked out git commits of KDE Connect up until 12ad4e3e in June and could reproduce the issue also here. Don't know the first bad commit but I never had this issue before so I would assume that this bug was introduced through some other update. @qydwhotmail, when did you first encounter it on your system? Since Plasma 5.22, I estimate. But that's because I started using kdeconnect only after 5.22. It's been like this for at least one year and a half. I can confirm I am affected as well; what I see is that a blank clipboard element is put at the top of the stack in the clipboard, de facto making it impossible to use clipboard sharing. I do not always see this though, I have yet to understand under which conditions the bug appears. *** Bug 450387 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm the bug using version 21.12.2. However, I would like to add that the clipboard is actually available for a short period of time (2 seconds or so here). Thus, pasting works, but stops afterwards. This delay may be because the plugin needs some time for the sync, i.e., the bug is only triggered after the other computers response is returned. I think we should raise the importance to high, as this a real showstopper to plasma and the cause is really hard to find. Should be fixed after the plugin is ported to KGuiaddons. |
SUMMARY If I set up a connection with another Plasma desktop, any content I copy from one Plasma desktop will not be pasted with Ctrl+V directly, but clipboard history has the item. The bug is gone when the clipboard plugin is disabled. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pair with another Plasma desktop 2. Enable "Clipboard" plugin 3. Copy some text and paste with "Ctrl+V" OBSERVED RESULT No text is pasted, but clipboard history has the item. EXPECTED RESULT Paste normally.
