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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
