Bug ID: 407429
Summary: Copy&paste stops working after some longer uptime
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nfx...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After some longer uptime, copy&paste suddenly stops working. It gets into a
state where you can observe the following things:
- copying text doesn't write it to the clipboard, the clipboard contents remain
untouched (although the "copied" text is added to kate's clipboard history
menu)
- pasting text from other applications still works
This just happens on its own after weeks of process uptime. I didn't try any
version after 18.03.70 - because that's the build I use mainly, and I have no
known or short way of reproducing. It happened in the past too, though I don'T
know how far back.
It's entirely possible that updates in the background cause it. But from my
vague memory, it seemed to be independent from that (I trigger updates
manually; also I'm using debian unstable, which hadn't a lot of updates
recently).
A new kate process is always fine. I work this issue around by closing the
affected kate process, starting a new process, and loading the old session.
It doesn't seem to matter whether the process was used recently or whether it
was just sitting somewhere minimized.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Unknown.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

management scripts. Other non-KDE/Qt applications are never affected.
