I just started noticing it like half an hour ago. I’m fairly new to this OS, so I have no idea where to look for any logs or anything.

I took a screenshot with Spectacle, and instead of it putting it into the clipboard it cleared it. Then when chatting on Discord (thru Vencord) and pressing ctrl-A & ctrl+X to write another message first, ctrl+V didn’t paste as my clipboard was empty. the screenshot happened multiple times, text only once. I can’t replicate it. I’m on Arch KDE, checked the clipboard setting, I don’t have a hotkey that I may be fat-fingering. I tried rebooting.

I tried abusing the clipboard while writing this, and just to mock me everything worked. So this might be a spam post without me even knowing, in that case I’m sorry; But please tell me how I can look at the logs, maybe I can catch it red handed still.

edit: no problem since, I haven’t done anything. Sorry for wasting your time.

    step 4 didn’t happen. AKA it works now. I have a guess as of why a random app wouldn’t be running. And it makes sense that closing would clear it, as screenshotting opens a fullscreen app. But I don’t get it, how can closing an application delete my clipboard?
