Bug ID: 456476
Summary: Clipboard contents not pasted into fields of .desktop
file Properties window
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: andrea.i...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Pasting a previous entry from the KDE Clipboard tool into any field of the
Properties window that opens when selecting "Edit application" an an apps
context menu, is ineffective.
But it works fine if snippet is pasted first into Kate (for example) and then
copied again from there.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure the KDE clipboard is enabled to benefit from multiple clipboard
history items
2. Copy a String of text "A", then copy another one "B"
3. Right click the Edit application entry of the context menu of any app, e.g.
Firefox
4. In the Properties window that opens up, choose any editable text field
5. Invoke the clipboard UI (for me it's set to Meta+V), and select the first
string you had copied ("A"), which is second in the list of snippets - this
should have now been moved to the main copy buffer and be pasted anywhere with
a simple Ctrl+V
6. Ctrl+V into the editable text field you chose at 4.
OBSERVED RESULT
"A" is pasted into the text field
EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing is pasted

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As a workaround, open a Kate instance, and Ctrl+V again: "A" is pasted as
expected.
Now withing Kate, select and copy this text, go back to the Properties window
and paste into the field you chose at 4. Paste will now work.
