SUMMARY Copying doesn't truly copy it, it saves it temporarily in my clipboard before erasing it as soon as the application is exited, reverting back to giving me whatever I had copied before. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Screenshot my screen and have it saved in my clipboard 2. Open Kolourpaint 3. Paste image 4. Rectangle Select whatever part of the image I want saved 5. CTRL+C 6. Close Kolourpaint 7. Try pasting the image somewhere else, and watch it paste the screenshot instead If I were to skip step 6, it would work, but I'd rather not swap between wherever I'm pasting the cropped screenshot and kolourpaint 4 times back to back. OBSERVED RESULT The pasted image isn't the one I copied from the program EXPECTED RESULT The pasted image being whatever I CTRL+C in the program SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I understand right clicking does save it properly, but I've gotten too used to CTRL+C and cropping screenshots this way that I have no other alternative and my muscle memory is too strong. Also, I've tried checking through my PC's settings and the Kolourpaint settings and neither had anything relating to copying.
Can confirm with KolourPaint 25.08.0 on KDE Linux 2025-08-26 (Plasma 6.4.80 Wayland) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Copy from contextual menu does the same effect. The image do not appear in the clipboard history regardless if the KolourPaint is launched or not.
Created attachment 184504 [details] attachment-1462914-0.html No, IF the software is open THEN it'll save the image normally, ELSE it'll revert my clipboard history back to what it was before it was open. I want whatever I CTRL+C in KolourPaint to be saved to my clipboard permanently, replaced by whatever I CTRL+C after, as it should be. How do I change this?
