Bug ID: 482459 Summary: Do not auto-forward empty clipboard when Plasma on PC is locking Classification: Applications Product: kdeconnect Version: unspecified Platform: Debian testing OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: common Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com Reporter: zocker.netw...@gmail.com CC: andrew.g.r.hol...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** IMO KDE Connect on Linux should not auto-forward the clearing of the clipboard to other devices when the clearing was issued because the PC is locking. Because this clears the content from other devices, which the user might use. Further, its triggering a (IMO disturbing) hint on Android 12 or newer. The hint is triggered by the system in all cases where an app changes the content in the clipboard. This hint is IMO disturbing in this case as it is not triggered by an user action but through an automatic process and because it does not inform the user about something relevant (other than that my PC has locked automatically after inactivity). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect a recent Android phone (12 or up) with a recent PC running Plasma in mostly default configuration 2. Enable auto-sharing clipboard from PC to phone 3. (For visualization purposes) keep the phone unlocked 4. Lock the PC (can be triggered automatically or manually) 5. Look on the phone OBSERVED RESULT The Android phone does notify the user about new clipboard content with a badge on the bottom of the screen. However, it is missing any content, most probably because the Plasma lockscreen cleared the clipboard (to avoid leaking its content to non-authorized users) and that clearing was forwarded to Android via KDE Connect. EXPECTED RESULT The Android phone showing nothing aka. the phone should keep its clipboard content SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Debian testing (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
