SUMMARY

Cutting/Pasting is broken in KiCad - I get the previous content of what's on my clipboard. Copying/Pasting does work correctly. It only happens with KiCad so far, most other text-based applications do seem to work correctly. From analyzing the clipboard's history, it seems that the 2nd cut-action is not stored in the clipboard. Since KiCad is text-based, it's rather easy to track its clipboard contents.

Disabling Klipper through the System Tray Settings is a workaround; the cutting/pasting behaviour in KiCad then works as expected. Bug reported at Kicad first, see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/22661, but since disabling Klipper fixes it I reckon the bug is rather there.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install KiCad 9.* ; open its Schematic Editor (Eeschema)
2. add 2  net labels (Place>Place Net Labels)
3. Cut label1
4. Paste -> label1 will be pasted -> expected behavior
5. Cut label2.
6. Paste -> label1 will be pasted -> BUG

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Can you see if this still happens after upgrading to Frameworks 6.22? It's being released tomorrow, and Fedora should have it packaged and shipped pretty quickly.

OK will do. I have another Ubuntu 2025.10 machine with the same issue BTW, maybe that helps to test with the latest Frameworks. Any commit you think that would have solved this issue?

The commits in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kguiaddons/-/merge_requests/191 are what I had in mind.
