SUMMARY
With "automatically share the clipboard from the device" in the plugin settings
for my Android phone disabled, I still see the behavior, that when both devices
reconnect, the clipboard content from the desktop gets shared to the Android
phone, visible by the popup Android makes since Android 12.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair KDE Connect on a desktop with a phone (in my case Android)
2. Disable "automatically share the clipboard from the device" on the desktop
for the phone.
3. When both devices are currently connected, verify that new clipboard content
on the desktop does not get shared to the phone.
4. Now forcefully disconnect both devices. I go into the Android settings and
force exit the KDE Connect app.
5. Reconnect both devices again. I open the KDE Connect app on Android again.
OBSERVED RESULT
The new clipboard content, which was not shared with the phone before is now
shared to the phone.
EXPECTED RESULT
The clipboard content should only be shared when I press on the button to
manually share it.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS 24.05 (Linux 6.6.46)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I know that I’m potentially using an old KDE Connect version, due to the NixOS
stable release cycle. I will upgrade to a newer version in the near future & if
I find some spare time, I will check again if this issue is still there.
I want to report this anyway because the issue was not reported before &
because this might not be just a inconvenience but also a security issue.
