I’ve already posted this on reddit a while ago. This could be an unwanted behaviour but most likely it’s just a misconfiguration I made.
It seems to me as if the contents of the clipboard is not copied but linked and I’m having trouble getting used to it. For Example: When I copy a string in kate and then close the application, the clipboard is empty.
I’ve already made some configuration changes on the clipper because I don’t like it. I don’t want to see it and I want it to act as old-fashioned as possible. Could I’ve done some misconfiguration that causes this or is it the intended behaviour?
I can accept that my password manager empties the clipboard after a few seconds. Aside from that, I’d prefer to have the contents of the clipboard to be persistent.
FYI: I usually had “clipboard” deactivated in all system tray settings. Because that seemed to be the easiest way to just get the old fashioned behaviour (no clipboard history and no synchronization of clipboard with selection). Of course I also tried everything with activated clipboard.
What is that “Save clipboard contents on exit” option for? Does it save the clipboard on logout? It doesn’t seem help me on this matter.
If you have clipboard deactivated, then I don’t know what to do to fix it. I just know that my clipboard will hold things beyond a reboot. To me, that is very handy.
Klipper is the responsible for keeping copied data from any application after it’s closed. So if you disable it, then you will lose that copied data after the source is gone.
