You know, I think I finally understand why I opened this bug request. Go to clipboard settings, change the state from "Never save in history" to "Only when explicitly copied". What happens is you need to restart plasmashell for the change to take place, so I never noticed that this option did what I wanted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
