The very basic form of cut & paste is broken (as in, it doesn't work). Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open Dolphin 2. Select a file and hit "Ctrl + x" (or right-click -> cut) 3. Close Dolphin 4. Open another Dolphin instance 5. Try to hit "Ctrl + v" (or right-click -> paste). Nothing will happen. The files are still in the clipboard, but Dolphin just won't accept them and won't let you paste them. Reproducible: Always
Can't reproduce it here, also Arch Linux but with Dolpin 14.12.3 and Plasma 5.2 (new Klipper). Which Plasma/Klipper version do you use? Is it also reproducible in the open/save dialog (e.g. in Kate)?
I'm on ... KDE 5 ... Plasma... something... it's really hard to say with that messed versioning scheme. Dolphin is 14.12.3 In the "About" dialog I also see KDE 4.14.6, which I have no idea where it comes from, because I'm clearly using Plasma from KDE5. Are you sure you're following the steps I wrote? Just to be sure, close everything. Open 1 Dolphin instance. Cut 1 file. Close Dolphin (close it! It's important). Open a new Dolphin instance and try to paste the file.

Oh sorry (!!), I have completely overseen the "Close the original Dolphin instance" :/ Also reproducible here!
Can you please try if you can reproduce it with other applications as well? e.g. when I write something in KWrite, copy it, close KWrite and open a new instance, try to paste it, the wrong text is pasted (some old text from the Klipper history). Also Klipper freezes on Strg+C ... In general: Copy/Cut something -> Close the application -> Clipboard data lost
Maybe related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292236 (comment #5)
Your Qt version? 5.4.1? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329174
Something fishy is going on with the entire clipboard thing. For example, I'm able to select and copy text from Okteta, but I can't paste it outside of Okteta. (I can paste only inside Okteta). On the other hand, Kate works just fine. I can copy some text from Kate, then close it, thenn paste that text inn another app and everything works. My Qt version... I have qt4, which is 4.8.6-4, and qt5, which is 5.4.1-2, so the bug you linked to wasn't fixed in upstream.
Clipboard works very sporadically here, but I haven found a pattern to trigger the buggy behaviour. Sometimes everything works like a charm and sometimes nothing works (even a simple copy and paste between two applicatons doesn't work). > qt5, which is 5.4.1-2 Ok same here.
And sometimes when I copy something, it appears in the Klipper history, but pasting it doesn't work until I select it manually in the Klipper applet.

Same problem, ctrl + c and then ctrl + v is not working at all, and this is on the latest version of kde plasma 5
Sorry, this is working fine now, never mind
Not the Klipper part though. Sometimes I select and I have to select something else in the list, then select the original, before I am able to paste it elsewhere.
