--- Comment #5 from Fredy Neeser <n...@zurich.ibm.com> ---
To be honest, I had never used Klipper's list (even though I'm using KDE since
10 years) until I followed this long thread on the Fedora KDE list showing that
folks are confused about it.  

"Klipper has been like that for a decade"  - yes, I now see that it looks
similar in KDE 4.14, but in KDE 4 it has a checkmark next to the top-level
entry, which indicates the entry that is ready to be pasted.

In KDE Plasma 5, this checkmark is missing, so there's no visual indication of
which entry can be pasted.  Also, even though Klipper has always been like
that, it's really not obvious that left-clicking an entry in the list will move
it to the top -- perhaps a tooltip (shown when the mouse pointer rests on one
of the entries) would make it easier to discover this Klipper feature?

I agree that the X functionality for copy and paste can be confusing, but folks
got used to it, so my conclusion is that the Klipper feature "Synchronize
contents of the clipboard and the selection"  is not useful with X.  It might
become more useful with Wayland, who knows ... 

Thanks for your hard work on Plasma 5, with 5.4 and 5.5!   I now start seeing
lots of good stability improvements, which I had hoped for quite a while, since
I upgraded to Fedora 22 (and Plasma 5) in July 2015.
