SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. enable "Remove white space" in the clipboard settings menu 2. copy a text beginning and/or ending with a white space, newline or tab. 2. paste into a text editor OBSERVED RESULT The text is pasted with white spaces EXPECTED RESULT The text should hat SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 23.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-25-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This used to work some weeks ago.
I don't think this option is supposed to do what you expect it to. The description says > Remove any whitespace from the start and end of selected text, before performing an action. For example, this ensures that a URL pasted in a browser is interpreted as expected. The text saved on the clipboard is not affected.
I'm not seeing a problem opening URLs that were copied to the clipboard with spaces before and/or after the URL I do see spaces in the clipboard when I copy text with leading or trailing spaces This is consistent with what I'd expect, based on the text in the settings description Nicolas pasted Are you seeing this cause issues in your applications? I do notice that when I paste text in Kate, it removes trailing spaces by default when the file is saved (Settings - Open/Save - General - Automatic Cleanups on Save) If I turn this off (and in other editors that don't cleanup white spaces), text is pasted from the clipboard as-is What application are you pasting text into? It might be that the behavior of that has changed. Tested on Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13
