SUMMARY With "Automatically copy color to clipboard" setting enabled, nothing gets copied to the clipboard on Wayland (haven't tested Xorg, I assume it works there). Doesn't work through the "Copy to clipboard" button while in the widget as well. Works from the "Open Color Dialog" view, when copying from the textbox. Noted that the current clipboard also gets overriden by the empty clipboard set by the colorpicker. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pick color using the color picker widget 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing gets copied into the clipboard EXPECTED RESULT Color in the correct format, in my clipboard, ready to paste.

Cannot reproduce; all of these things work for me on Wayland.

Maybe relevant to say that i've followed the instructions on here: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Debugging Running the application run org.kde.plasma.plasmoidname inside gdb plasmawindowed The Widget window that showed up worked like a charm. Any logs I can attach that might help tracking down the issue?

On the panel, it behaves as described above.
I can duplicate this issue, however: - The color picker widget works just fine. - The KColorChooser doesn't work.

>On the panel, it behaves as described above. Well identified. The panel doesn't have keyboard focus, if the panel doesn't have keyboard focus wayland policies prevent it from modifying the clipboard. A fast workaround would be to make the colour picker applet use SystemClipboard
For me on Wayland with current git master, the Color Picker widget is able to copy the color to the clipboard when it's on my Panel, or on my Desktop.
I still experience this on KDE Plasma 6.1.4 on Fedora Linux 40 and it's quite annoying. Is it going to ever get fixed after 2 years?
Is the widget on your panel, Pavel? I remain unable to reproduce the issue with the widget on a panel.

With current git master, this is working as expected for me on both the panel and desktop. Let's call it fixed in Plasma 6.2. If anyone can still reproduce the issue after upgrading the Plasma 6.2 in two months, we can re-open this and investigate. I suspect the issuer will be traced to some Klipper setting, custom script, or 3rd-party thing. So for those still experiencing it, it would be useful also to try again in a new clean user account with no customization, other than adding a Color Picker widget to the desktop or panel.
