Description Siddhartha 2024-02-09 13:55:59 UTC 
After https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1065, the option to "Always save in history" is disabled for "Text selection" when "Keep selection and clipboard the same" option is disabled.

I relied on this feature to both keep my selection and clipboard separate and also save my selections to clipboard history (with a large history size to accommodate many selections).

The "More about.." help text tooltip still says "If it is turned off, the selection may still be saved in the clipboard history (subject to the options below)", but the code comment says otherwise. 

Can we please bring back this option?

Seems reasonable
