This is probably a known problem and related to the security and / or limitations of Wayland, but I wanted to ask if anyone's aware of a workaround. Ever since I switched from X11 to WL my clipboard has been acting funny; I can still copy text between different applications, however if an application you copied text from is closed the copied text also disappears! When clicking on the Clipboard icon in the system tray, I'm no longer seeing any new entries there either... having a history and being able to recover recent clipboard items was very useful, currently it's the only important thing that stopped working alongside proper multi-display management.

Any options or workarounds to get full clipboard functionality back in the Plasma Wayland session? Is it known when limitation that break the clipboard functionality may be lifted?
