Description Nate Graham 2021-11-19 14:42:41 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy the text "442830" to the clipboard
2. Activate the Overview effect
3. Type "bug " and then Ctrl+V to paste the text


OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing is pasted


EXPECTED RESULT
The text is pasted, causing the search field to show "bug 442830", which would display a KRunner entry to open that bug report in my web browser
Comment 1 popov895 2022-04-13 16:59:18 UTC 
Not sure, but it seems that bug 442521 is related or a duplicate.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2022-04-13 19:47:59 UTC 
They're different. This is 100% reproducible always, while Bug 442521 is only sometimes reproducible under certain circumstances. If fixing Bug 442521 won't fix the issue specific to the Overview effect,
Comment 3 Felipe Kinoshita 2022-05-22 04:38:45 UTC 
Cannot reproduce
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-05-23 15:12:51 UTC 
Huh, still broken for me with current git master on Wayland. Maybe you're using X11? It only seems to happen on Wayland.
Comment 5 Bacteria 2022-05-25 08:14:49 UTC 
Can reproduce on Wayland.

Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2022-10-29 18:20:12 UTC 
Can reproduce on Wayland session of neon unstable.
Comment 7 Bug Janitor Service 2022-11-25 10:31:57 UTC 
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3242

https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard/issues/149#issuecomment-1454687844

The developer of wl-clipboard claims that Kwin Wayland does not work with wl-clipboard together.

Is that possible if Kwin Wayland fixes the compatibility issue with wl-clipboard which supports different text editors e.g. Micro and Vim?
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2023-03-06 16:14:25 UTC 
wl-copy works at least.
Comment 10 Zesko 2023-03-06 17:03:43 UTC 
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9)
> wl-copy works at least.

There are two issues:

1. issue: 
 "wl-copy --clear" does not work to clear the clipboard

2. issue:
Erase the entire clipboard in KDE Klipper, then run  "wl-paste" in Konsole, but it hangs waiting to copy  a new clipboard.

Comment 14 Nate Graham 2023-12-04 21:44:14 UTC 
Indeed, can still reproduce. Which makes sense as https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3242 which was supposed to fix this never seems to have gotten merged.

qpa: Implement clipboard

This allows copy pasting text between the overview and regular clients.

QMimeData::data() has a synchronous API. It is a problem for us, the
compositor, because it means we need to block the main thread to read
the mime data. This change adds a one second timeout. If no data arrives
within the next 1 second, the qpa will give up in order to avoid freezing
the screen further. Not sure how this can be handled better without
changing the API of the QMimeData to add async overloads.
