Hi, for the last month or two, multiple of my machines have intermittently lost the ability to paste copied images from the clipboard into any application I tried. Currently this still happens on linux 6.17.3 cachyos and Plasma 6.4.5. Usually pasting images works fine. Then once in a while, pastin…

For me it’s been happening for a while now, there are several things I do to fix it: Sometimes I have to manually hit the “copy” button in Spectacle for the paste to work Other times even that doesn’t work and I have to restart plasma with killall -9 plasmashell && systemctl --user restart pla…

This is still happening in 6.5.1 every couple pastes and it is driving me absolutely insane. I’m probably going to a have to switch DE at this point, I can’t use any of my daily workflows in my system consistently anymore.

Hi, I’m having a similar issue going on with my distro as well, Fedora 42 KDE Plasma ver. It sometimes works, it sometimes doesn’t, and it ends up slowing my workflow. I am also unable to pinpoint the cause. Tested with discord (flatpak), gimp (flatpak), and kolourpaint (rpm).

I have a simmilar issue. If I install wl-clipboard it breaks clipboard - if i check history it inserts empty clipboard items after copy, so paste is useless unless you chose item from hisotry.

Hi, I’ve been having the same problem for a few months now, has anyone found a solution? I use Arch Linux: DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.2-2 Kernel: Linux 6.17.7-zen1-1-zen spectacle 6.5.2

Just chiming in to note that I’m having the same issue. Operating System: CachyOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1 If I configure the clipboard to “Keep the selection and clipboard the same”, that opens up two selection radio buttons underneath. I keep Text on “Only when explicitly copied”, but for non-…

KDE Bugtracking System Main Page is where to report bugs. i would think plasmashell is the right component to file it under.

Turns out there are multiple bugs already noting this issue. I’ve actually signed up for an account, confirmed one of them, then ended up marking two or three as duplicates! The bug I’m tracking as one of the originals is here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507792 As you can see, this bug w…

Hi All, I think I figured out how this is reproducible: If you paste after ~10 seconds that is when it fails to paste. If you paste before that time it works.

Cannot reliably paste images from clipboard
