Steps: 1. Copy 3 different random texts for testing, for now you should see 3 textual items saved in Klipper widget, 2. Open Kate editor (or any app like Firefox) 3. Press Meta+V and select 2nd item 4. Press Ctrl+V to paste it into Kate 5. Press Meta+V, then without selecting any item from Klipper, click outside the floating window to cancel the operation 6. Press Ctrl+V into Kate Observed result: Nothing is pasted into Kate Wanted result: First item (previously second one) should be copied into Kate 7. Press Meta+V then re-select the first item 8. Press Ctrl+V inside Kate Observed result: Nothing is copied into Kate Wanted result: The first item should be copied into Kate Note: If I select any item different from the first one, Ctrl+V will paste it into Kate, but after cancelling Meta+V window the problem reappears again.

Another scenario which needs to be repeated several times to result the same behavior: 1. Meta+V then select an item different from the first one 2. Paste it into Kate 3. Meta+V then select the first item (the same one currently copied) 4. Paste it into Kate 5. Repeat steps from 1 to 4 until you get nothing when you paste the copied text.
I can reproduce, and it seems Wayland specific
note that the items are not lost from the clipboard history, they are just lost from the current clipboard, ctrl+V doesn't work anymore, but the history is intact

Got the bug again in Plasma 6.4.2. Seems like that fix for 6.4 didn't work.
Yeah, the merge request contains a note: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/5398#note_1223327 that explains why it did not work. I can still reproduce it every siungle time it seems. I often use clipboard to check what is in the clipboard without selecting anything, so this is quite severe for me :-(.
