Bug ID: 510449
Summary: Regression: Clipboard action menu does not work unless
Clipboard Configuration dialog is open
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.5
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard widget & pop-up
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
After a couple, sometimes a few copy text operations the actions stop working.
Sometimes they come back, but most of the time they simply do not work.
So I wanted to figure out what I have to change in settings and they
miraculously came back. This is how I found out that they work when the
Configure dialog of clipboard is open.
This is the third regression that seriously impacts my productivity. I have a
lot of IDs that I used to double-click, then chose option from the menu to
directly open an appropriate document, page, or directory. This was gone with
bug 460698 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460698). Until now, I had to
work it around using regular copy and use action menu. Then a new bright idea
came not to invoke when the same text is copied. Well, if I missed the menu I
wanted to use it for the second time.
Now the third obstacle is that the Action menu does not show after Ctrl+C or
context menu Copy!
The manual invoking (with shortcut) does not work either.
Instead of simplifying and speeding up my work, it becomes a burden.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure an action
2. Copy text that should invoke Action menu
3. Get frustrated
OBSERVED RESULT
No action menu.
EXPECTED RESULT
My expectation is to have action menu whenever I double click (middle button
clipboard) or use regular copy operation.
I expect to have it invoked ALWAYS (the history doesn't have to get filled up
with redundant copies though).
I also expect that the shortcuts for manually invoking actions work.
