Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-10-31 22:53:33 UTC 
Let me guess: you have "only when explicitly copied" checked? Does it start working like you expect if you instead check "Always save in history"?

If so, I think the "only when explicitly copied" setting is broken and actually controls synchronization, not whether the synchronized text is added to the clipboard history.

> Does it start working like you expect if you instead check "Always save in history"?

Yes. I can't even paste a selected text with ctrl+v if 'Only when explicitly copied' is selected.

klipper: explicitly sync clipboard with selection with `IgnoreSelection` enabled

When `SyncClipboards` is true but `IgnoreSelection` is true, the
clipboard should still sync clipboard and selection. However,
this is not done automatically, so Klipper still needs to do
it manually.
