Presumably this only happens in firefox? If we have this data it means it's telling us that data. Please report there. If you can reproduce in kwrite, please reopen No(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #1) > Presumably this only happens in firefox?

The screenshots attached are taken in Edge. But I also have tested in Firefox, Brave. Same behavior in all three browsers. As for kwrite, I made several attempts and found that sometimes selections work ok and in some other cases selection copied nothing to the clipboard even though I have Klipper set to keep selection and clipboard the same. |
Created attachment 150101 [details] clipboard after selecting the word "symbols" SUMMARY Under Wayland, seems like Klipper creates a new entry in the clipboard for every character selected while dragging and selecting with the mouse. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch a Wayland session 2. Select any word by clicking and draggin with the mose 3. Check the clipboard history. OBSERVED RESULT In the history, there is a new entry for each character selected. EXPECTED RESULT Just like in X11, klipper should create a single entry with all the selected text.
