Can confirm
Is this happening with a multi-monitor arrangement? I can't reproduce the issue with one one screen.
Happens for me on multiple devices, both multi and single monitor.

It is happen right now on KDE Neon 6. The system has the latest updates. If I am on the desktop the popup appears at cursor location. It sometimes also appear at cursor location when I lunch kickoff (start menu). When I am on a window of an application, it's left-right corner is put at the center. --- PART OF the popup goes bellow the SCREEN. Does someone know a starting point of a fix ? It is a daily companion.

Created attachment 166323 [details] View of the popup on barre desktop. On barre Desktop, all the clipboard content is visible.

Is everyone affected using X11, maybe? Trying to find the points of commonality. FWIW, I can't reproduce it on the following system: - Wayland - Fractional scale factor - 1 or 2 screens - Qt 6.6.2
Don't know about the others, but I for one haven't touched X11 since 5.27 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can reproduce on Wayland. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland

The issue does not appear on X11. I am on the same system. Please, those on Wayland, you can logout, select Wayland and login. Then see if the issue appears again.

can reproduce it on wayland
I'm experiencing the same issue after upgrading to KDE Plasma 6. In my experience, this fueature only work occasionally (maybe 10% if the time) when no windows are displayed on the desktop. However, as soon as any program is launched or a window is shown, the clipboard popup gets stuck in the center of the screen, as shown in the attached screenshot titled "Screenshot with clipboard popup bellow screen".

This has worsen. I did an update using apt yesterday and the clipboard no more works. I mean: - click on icon in system tray to access clipboard setting: nothing appear. I expect a windows to be opened. - clipboard always shows `Clipboard is empty` whenever you click on it icon. - Shortcut Meta+V do not display clipboard history as usual. In logs, I fond that `klipper` is no more available. I looked on the system and find no executable with that name. ``` Mar 20 07:27:07 vrbench systemd-xdg-autostart-generator[1232]: Exec binary 'blueman-applet' does not exist: No such file or directory Mar 20 07:27:07 vrbench systemd-xdg-autostart-generator[1232]: Not generating service for XDG autostart app-blueman@autostart.service, error parsing Exec= line: No such file or directory Mar 20 07:27:07 vrbench systemd-xdg-autostart-generator[1232]: Exec binary 'klipper' does not exist: No such file or directory Mar 20 07:27:07 vrbench systemd-xdg-autostart-generator[1232]: Not generating service for XDG autostart app-klipper@autostart.service, error parsing Exec= line: No such file or directory ``` Please @nate may you guide me to find and resolve the issue ?

For those still having this issue and waiting for a fix, you can work around this under Wayland, by manually creating a window rule for KWin. To do this, open up System Settings, then navigate to Window Management -> Window Rules and click on "Add New". For description, enter anything you want, like "clipboard workaround". For "Window class (application)" put "plasmashell org.kde.plasmashell" (exactly like this, without quotes), and select "Exact Match". Leave "Window types" as "Normal Window". Then, at the bottom click on "Add Property". Search for "Initial placement" and set this to "Force" and "Under Mouse". This will cause all windows spawned by plasmashell to appear under your mouse cursor, this includes the clipboard, but also any "configure" windows you might open, e.g. by clicking to configure a widget. Remember to remove this rule whenever the issue is fixed on KDE side though (unless you're fine with any plasmashell window appearing under your cursor, which you very well might be).
Created attachment 167760 [details] Kwin rule for workarround I followed Naxdy's workaround. But the pop up window get sometimes under the display. I changed the action to display at up-left corner. The attachment show the rule.
Created attachment 168412 [details] Demo of the Klipper window opening in the wrong positions I can reproduce the issue on the latest KDE neon Testing (20240402) via the all-defaults Live ISO as well. Please view my attached demo video. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Boot KDE neon Testing Live ISO 2. Copy any text into the clipboard 3. Open a window OR panel widget 4. Press your assigned shortcut for "Show Clipboard Items at Mouse Position" (default: Meta + V) OBSERVED RESULT The Klipper window is NOT spawned at the mouse position. Instead, the top-left of the window is ALWAYS spawned in the center of the screen. Or, for when a panel widget is open, at another weird spot. EXPECTED RESULT The Klipper window should always spawn at the mouse position, like it did previously and on X11. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: KDE neon Testing 20240402 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.6.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - This works fine on X11. I can confirm that ONLY Wayland is affected. - The issue can be reproduced very quickly on an all-defaults KDE neon VM.

I could reproduce it with the latest Neon user and testing isos but cannot reproduce on my own neon unstable machine.
Still happening on my distro running KDE Plasma 6.0.5 (version updated in the bug info)
All of this would suggest it's fixed in the upcoming Plasma 6.1 release. Please feel free to re-open the bug report if it still happens on that version or later though. Thanks!
I tested this with the latest available build of Neon Unstable available for download today (build 202405...), and indeed couldn't reproduce. Looking forward to 6.1.0 now 😄
I debugged this both in a neon unstable and testing VM. It was indeed bugged in 6.0 due to a change in KWin and fixed afterwards. Which should be included in 6.1 but what puzzled me was that it was happening in the neon testing VM (6.1). It turns out that Neon testing did not have a 6.1 KWin yet but still 6.0.5. I've contacted the Neon developers about it.
