Bug ID: 420758
Summary: Clipboard and selection synchronization resets
selection in GTK apps
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: andy...@mail.ru
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When Selection and Clipboard synchronization is enabled (i.e. the Ignore
selection option is NOT enabled), text selection in GTK (or, possibly, PyGTK)
application spuriously gets reset sometimes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the Clipboard widget settings, General tab, make sure "Prevent empty
clipboard" is enabled and "Ignore selection" is disabled.
2. Open a GTK application. I use Meld. In it, create a blank text file
comparison or initiate comparison of two text files. I've also seen this
problem in Sublime Text editor.
3. In the application, select a piece of text with mouse. Try multiple times,
if needed.
OBSERVED RESULT
The selection gets reset sometimes. Possibly, this happens when the widget
automatically copies the selection to the clipboard.
EXPECTED RESULT
The selection should stay.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The workaround is to enable the "Ignore selection" option in the widget
settings.
