SUMMARY For some reason, I cannot copy large amounts of text from GTK appa into Kate/KWrite. Pastying works correctly if the text is copied from a QT text editor though. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a large text file with >10k lines (e.g. this: https://github.com/david-cortes/cmfrec/blob/master/src/collective.c). 2. Open said file in e.g. gedit or sublime. 3. Launch a kate/kwrite window. 4. Paste the text into kate/write. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT Should paste the copied text SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Thanks for the report David, I've just tested this with Kate 20.08.3 and gedit 3.36.2 on openSUSE and I am unable to replicate this issue, the text is pasted immediately. Are you able to test with a fresh user and if that also fails with a live ISO of another distro like openSUSE Tumbleweed?

True, doesn't work. QApplication::clipboard()->text(QClipboard::Clipboard) just doesn't return the text :/
Yeah, Qt issue, Qt Creator can't paste that either...

Is there a Qt issue on their tracker that I can follow?
I cannot reproduce with Kate 22.08 and Plasma 5.26. Is this still an issue?
Same I can no longer reproduce this issue with the file, copying from gedit to write 22.08.1, Qt 5.15.6 on Fedora 37. Can anyone else who was experiencing the issue still reproduce it?
Issue appears fixed to me, I was able to copy several megabytes of data from Firefox to Kate with no problems. Previously this would fail.
Not reproducible anymore.
