** Description changed:

  On kubuntu 26.04:
  - set clipboard to "Keep the selection and clipboard the same"
  - launch firefox, select some text and do "ctrl+C" to copy
  
  Result: plasma freezes for a minute or so.
  
  This was fixed via
  
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kguiaddons/-/commit/5724d86b54bcbb0bbde70270a1f5080d70c8116b
  
  which shipped with https://kde.org/announcements/frameworks/6/6.25.0/ :
  search for "Waylandclipboard: Wait for up to 1s for the clipboard
  contents"
  
  Would be great if this fix could be added to kubuntu
+ 
+ 
+ [ Impact
+ 
+  * Causes plasmashell to freeze for over one minute when copying to the
+    clipboard when the option to sync selection and clipboard is enabled (not 
the
+    default option)
+ 
+  * This upstream patch lowers the offending timeout to a reasonable 1s.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+  * Right click the system tray clipboard icon, and go into settings. Set the
+    "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" option and apply
+  * Open Firefox and CTRL-C copy some text.
+  * Confirm that without the patch plasma shell freezes for => ~1min
+  * Confirm that with the patch this does not occur.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+  * Risk should be minimal, as we are changing 1 timeout in one line of code
+    specific to one action.
+  * However, we are recompiling a package from source, in an environment where 
it
+    is likely the toolchain and some of the build dependencies may have been
+    updated since the original compilation. Therefore is desirable for any
+    testers to spend a little time using Plasma as normal in case there is an
+    unforeseen regression.
