SUMMARY *** Copy/paste does not work *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy a string, file ... with CRTL+C or mouse 2. paste it to the target place OBSERVED RESULT nothing is pasted, the clipboard seems to be empty EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Leap 15.3 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0 Qt Version: 5.12.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Meanhwile I found out, that it reproducibly works, when I copy twice. The behaviour seems not to depend on a certain application. Therefore it seems to be a KDE thing.

Hello Nate, thanks for your reply. I´m wondering how a bug can remain in the distro for so long. A newer release is not available, so I wait for it and use the workaraound :-) Thanks, Roland Am 01.04.22 um 20:14 schrieb Nate Graham: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452086 > > Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Resolution|--- |FIXED > Component|general |Clipboard > Version|unspecified |5.18.7 > CC| |nate@kde.org > Product|kde |plasmashell > Status|REPORTED |RESOLVED > Assignee|unassigned-bugs@kde.org |plasma-bugs@kde.org > Target Milestone|--- |1.0 > > --- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> --- >> Meanhwile I found out, that it reproducibly works, when I copy twice. > Aha, I remember this bug!

It's because the distro chooses to ship software that is over two years old, and users choose to use it. :) There are other distros out there that ship software soon after it's released, rather than waiting years and years.
