When i select a sentence in a document opened by any text editor (openoffice, kwrite, kate) and then press ctrl-c it copies the selected text to Klipper just fine.

The problem appears when i close the application and then try to paste the clipboard contents in another program using ctrl-v. Nothing happens since the clipboard for some reason seems to be empty. In order to be able to paste the previously copied content i need to manually click on the Klipper tray icon and select what i want to paste. Then i can paste it by using ctrl-v...

Is this behaviour intended?

Glipper and xfce-clipman can store the clipboard content but Klipper seems to work in a different way.

I haven't searched for it myself yet, but check the preferences of Klipper...., you can also get the last copied data via a key-binding

(in the past, the behavior wasn't like this )

I've tested all possible configurations but it doesnt change anything.

and is a key-binding not possible (such as making a [Ctrl]+[alt]+[v] key binding to get the last copied thing on the current clipboard (or directly pasted to the document?)

I think you're experiencing this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221206

I use the standard key binding which is ctrl-alt-up to select the previous copied item. But this adds an extra step which i really dont want. But thanks for the suggestion.

It seems so yes. Thanks for the info.

I have the same problem as described in the first post.

It's funny because the "prevent empty clipboard" option should prevent exactly that. When it's turned on, you should always be able to paste something.

It has never worked, though.
