im so grateful for your attention to this matter but im not sure i understand
what you're suggesting; like, yeah i'm sure it "helps" if i never touch the
middle mouse button and add extra steps to my routine by controlling the
clipboard with the keyboard or worse right click and do all that movement to
pick copy or paste.

i'll certainly try out Klipper because it looks more feature complete than
whatever this builtin Clipboard History Manager that comes with KDE Plamsa and
the clipboard still has its time and place in the sun but strictly speaking its
not the clipboard that im having problems with, it's the clipboard i seek to
skip when im using this handy dandy thing they call PRIMARY which ive got
thirty five years of muscle memory with

omg bruv thank you so much i mean thats terrible what youre going thru but its
not just "related" that IS IT. thats exactly how i would describe it,
"stubborn" when i try a second or third time...and then i dont do anything
different...i just get angry and frustrated and it goes away and works right
after three to five tries for no discernible reason; i just dont know how to
express myself. you have no idea my relief to at least know im not crazy and my
system is not uniquely haunted; that im not the only one. we will get to the
bottom of this now bruv, if its the last thing i do.

its like it happens 5 to 10 times a year. rarely enough that i never focus on
it but often enough that its been plaguing and haunting me for a few years now
and oh lord it worries me when it spits out whole pages i sent my wife or my
finance guy three weeks ago into the google search field or floods the terminal
with nonsense.

no joke i just got burnt a couple weeks ago the most recent time trying to
simply `rm` one file and much to my chagrin it pasted, among a bunch of trash,
a lone asterisk that had no business being where it went. to the closet for the
tapes i went to restore 300+ GiB which dutifully vanished from my nvme in an
instant.

i will redouble my efforts now and solve this knowing im not the only one. or
this poltergeist will flee now because you've piped up too and/or because 14.4
+ Plasma and 7000 other ports are building as we speak and im finally moving my
stubborn derrière past 13.x. we'll see

seven months from finally gathering up my stones and filing this ticket, im
none wiser or closer to solving this let alone identifying the problem.
however, i can report this:

i do have this regrettable "gaming" keyboard with these super hair-trigger
keys...and i long suspected that it had something to do with something brushing
against some modifier key or default binding relating to some "feature" i'm
simply ignorant of. however, after years of awareness ive become quite certain
that in many instances i've operated the system flawlessly in the event that it
occurs, at least in the temporal region of the event. what i'm not certain of
is that some [mis-]"feature" wasnt triggered minutes or hours prior to the
event that "cycles" thru a ring buffer of sorts that "helpfully" allowed me to
swap PRIMARY with SECONDARY and then back again thus onto my middle mouse
button it went just lurking and waiting to pounce and betray me at the worst
possible time lol like omg only by His grace it happened hours not days after i
took that backup i ended up needing

so now i never type `rm ` and attempt to use PRIMARY; i type `: `, middle
click, (still not very safe, as many selections are multi line) Cntrl-a `rm`
Del Entr. a lot of steps sure but dude that mishap a couple weeks ago it
scarred me for life
