Bug ID: 455039
Summary: Clipboard content cannot be pasted if the source of
the content being copied/cut is closed (e.g by CTRL+Q
quit or similar)
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.24.5
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The clipboard content, be it Text or Image (should also happen to file
reference like copying a file from Dolphin), cannot be pasted if the
application where the content comes from (be it from Copy or Cut) is closed,
even if the content is listed on the popup menu.
It however can still be pasted if we open the popup (Open Klipper at Mouse
Position) and select the content, then paste.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
# Text
1. Open KWrite
2. Open Kate
3. Write something, for example, "Hello World" into either KWrite or Kate,
let's use Kate for simplicity
4. Select all the text and either Copy or Cut
5. Close Kate, if asked, discard/don't save the content
6. Go to/focus on KWrite
7. Try to paste the content (Right Click Paste or CTRL + V)
# Image
1. Take a screenshot using spectacle, either by opening the app or through a
keyboard shortcut
2. If opening the app or the shortcut is opening the spectacle dialog, save the
content to the clipboard and close the spectacle
3. Try to paste the content to GIMP, Discord, Krita, or any program that
accepts an image
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing is being pasted, either by Context menu or Keyboard Shortcut, it can
still be pasted by opening Klipper at the cursor position, selecting the first
entry (which is the previously copied/cut content) and then trying to paste
again either using Context Menu or Keyboard Shortcut
EXPECTED RESULT
The content should be still being pasted regardless if the source application
is closed or not
