So I cannot copy some text to clipboard on host machine and paste it on

I suspect it is some general bug in KDE implementation of XWayland.
Sometimes it is unable to synchronize X11 and Wayland selections. VMs
and spice-vdagent is just a specific case of an application that uses
X11 selections. Likely GNOME has independent implementation of the
related Wayland protocols and so unaffected. Wayland world is much more
fragmented than X11, every compositor has its own limitations and bugs.
I spent some time playing with xclip, wl-clipboard, konsole, xterm, and
vim-gtk running in terminal application. It was a qemu KVM guest with
Wayland KDE plasma session while X11 KDE session was running on the
host. Issues appear when applications try to access selection from
different protocol, e.g. set by a Wayland application, get by an X11 one
or vice versa even within the VM. X11 selections are synchronized
between the host and the guest.
Some bugs have been fixed since the version packaged in bookworm, e.g.
<https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490577>
Copy paste function does not work from wayland into x11 (xwayland)
window after several minutes
Has anybody tried Wayland and X11 selection interaction in trixie KDE
Wayland session?
