Description Eamonn Rea 2025-02-13 00:11:30 UTC 
SUMMARY
When copying an image with Gwenview (Ctrl+C or right click -> Copy), attempting to paste it after closing Gwenview does not work. The image still displays on the clipboard history, but cannot be pasted into i.e. Firefox. Gwenview has to be kept open to properly paste images.

This previously worked as expected in Plasma 6.2.X.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an image with Gwenview.
2. Copy it and close Gwenview.
3. Image cannot be pasted.

OBSERVED RESULT
Images copied from Gwenview cannot be pasted after closing the application.

EXPECTED RESULT
Images should remain pastable after closing Gwenview.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Graphics Platform: Wayland
