Clipboard entry when copying from Libreoffice

SUMMARY
Selecting and copying an image from Libreoffice or Gimp, or a part of it (from Gimp) is not saved into the clipboard history.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Libreoffice or Gimp, and insert or open image into it.
2. Select that image (only the image, without any paragraph or text around it in Libreoffice), or a part of it in Gimp.
3. Copy the selection (CTRL+C)

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no entry in clipboard entry or it is an empty one

EXPECTED RESULT
The copied image to be in clipboard history

SOFTWARE/OS/HARDWARE VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: MxLinux 25 iso / Rosa Desktop Fresh installation / Opensuse Tumbleweed and KDE Neon iso 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 / 6.4.5 / 6.5.2
Hardware used: LENOVO IdeaPad Slim 5 15ARP10, AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, Dell Vostro 15 3530 with an 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1355U

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On the LENOVO IdeaPad Slim 5 15ARP10 with Rosa Desktop Fresh 13 installation there is an empty line which if QRcode can be created, shows a -1x-1 text (which sometimes appears as test entry too in the clipboard). There is a hangup during which the apps fluctuates between a normal estate and a greyed out one (not responding estate) and then the clipboard shows the empty line. I attach screenshot.
I cannot reproduce this behavior on the other laptop running the above mentioned isos, only the fact, that nothing is copied from Libreoffice and Gimp. It does not show up anything copying only images from these apps.

Cannot reproduce with both applications. GIMP 3.0.6 and Libreoffice 25.8.2.2

Test on Tumbleweed, plasma 6.5.3, Libreoffice 25.8.3, Firefox 145 and Gimp 3.0.6. Libreoffice no copy of the image, text ok, Firefox an empty line, Gimp nothing.
