SUMMARY The copy/paste functions are gravely flawed in Plasma. Trying to copy/paste is a drudge as it causes freezes and most of the time doesn't even copy anything. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Try to copy something OBSERVED RESULT Plasma hangs, windows are (usually) still usable, but taskbar panels are inaccessible. This is usually followed by a failure to actually copy the selection. System froze as I was typing this trying to paste my system details. EXPECTED RESULT The selection is copied. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Ubuntu 21.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.13.0-21-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz Memory: 31.2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This causes major inefficiency in workflow, if possible please tell me how to fix it or remove the functionality and replace it.
