SUMMARY
***
Klipper option "Keep selection and clipboard the same" has no effect. I had the setting active since long time and it was working fine, but then I just once deactivated it and now I cannot activate it again.

The setting is "active" in settings panel and klipperrc has a line "SyncClipboards=true", but even after reboot it does not work anymore.

The settings panel for klipper looks quite fishy, too, because it is not translated completely but a mixture of english and my selected language (german). See screenshot.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open klipper configuration
2. deactivate "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" and apply
3. test and notice that it's correctly not synced anymore
4. re-activate "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" and apply
5. test and notice that it's still not synced
6. look into ~/.config/klipperrc and notice the line "SyncClipboards=true" as it should be
7. reboot, test and notice it's still not active

OBSERVED RESULT
Behavior does not follow the option

EXPECTED RESULT
Behavior follows the option
