[plasmashell] [Bug 479035] Clipboard behavior should follow typical/general expectations of history/privacy
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479035 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |NOT A BUG CC||n...@kde.org Status|REPORTED|RESOLVED --- Comment #3 from Nate Graham --- Migrating to a new system always involves some degree of unfamiliarity and learning new things. Plasma's powerful clipboard is generally considered a strength, not a liability. I think this is a "try it, you'll like it" situation. Let me also mention that you can indeed make the Clipboard applet hide from your system tray by setting it to "Always hidden" in the system tray config window, on the "Entries" page. But let me also echo the sentiment that if you're worries about people looking through your clipboard history, you have much bigger problems--such as leaving the machine unlocked in the first place. If you don't trust the other people with physical access to the machine, at a *minimum* you need to be diligent about locking it when you're not around. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479035 --- Comment #2 from kdetes...@protonmail.com --- Can distro installation page be added to educate users and let them configure Clipboard as they want at installation time itself, rather being unaware if the clipboard behaviour ? Or worst case can Welcome page after installation educate and allow the clipboard tweaking? I am more concerned on the new users or novice (non technical users) starting with or migrating to KDE, from Windows or Mac, who do not know that such thing exists. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

If someone has access to your machine, you have MUCH larger privacy concerns than clipboard leakage. For instance, complete access to your files. To many, clipboard history is a useful feature. On Windows, it's a commonly requested one (Type "Windows clipboard" into a search engine and look at the completions). The fact that history is stored is very obvious from the system tray indicator and if a user has privacy concerns over currently stored data, they can clear it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
