Bug ID: 487987
Summary: Regression: (X11) Primary Selection no longer appears
in history
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
On my desktop I have plasma 5.27.11, on my notebook I upgraded to 6.0.5.
The clipboard settings are (visually, in the GUI) the same, but the behaviour
on 6.0.5 changed.
Selecting text (X11 Primary Selection) appears in the history on 5.*, while it
no longer does on 6.* unless I activate the option to keep the clipboard and
selection in sync, which I do not want.
There is an option, but it only becomes editable if the sync is enabled, and
doesn't allow me to configure it the way 5.* behaves (or I didn't find out how)
Please fix this regression, as managing both the selection and the clipboard
content is an important usecase to me.
I also don't see why this should not be possible option-wise, as in: why this
specific combination can't be configured.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to Plasma 6.*
2. Use X11 (potentially same in Wayland, didn't test, not sure about selection
there in general)
3. Mark text with mouse
OBSERVED RESULT
Text doesn't appear in clipboard history
EXPECTED RESULT
Text does appear, as it did in 5.*
If you think this is confusing for users, please at least offer an option
(since the GUI seems somewhat prepared to that) to change that behaviour.
