OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Thanks for your understanding Created attachment 181548 [details]
I'm talking about this setting.
Steps to reproduce:
1- Have your clipboard empty, and the default setting of copying text just by selecting them.
2- Select any text.
3- Activate the clipboard's explicit copies setting shown in the attached image.
4- Try to paste text.
Results:
The text you've selected is still there after changing the setting, and it's impossible to remove because it's not added to the clipboard.
Expected results: Activating explicit copies should remove the invisible text that was copied due to being selected.
After you activate that setting, any text you select will be copied as well. But it won't affect text selected in the past, before you activated the setting. It's not a time machine. :) (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > After you activate that setting, any text you select will be copied as well. > But it won't affect text selected in the past, before you activated the > setting. It's not a time machine. :) If just selected texts are still being copied, then what even changed? Is there a way I can get rid of it? |
