I’m running KDE on Nobara, and every time I power on my computer, there’s something in the clipboard leftover from the previous session despite that setting being turned off. I’m not 100% sure, but sometimes I think that it’s not even the last thing I copied. I’d have to make a mental note to check every time.

Is there something I can do to fix this besides the basic system settings dialog?

So far it looks like KDEConnect may be passing my clipboard back and forth between my PC and my phone. I’ll have to wait and see how it changes after disabling clipboard sharing.

EDIT: The next day, I’m going to say this solved the issue for me. For anyone else wondering, in the KDEConnect settings, you can either disable clipboard sharing entirely or prevent automatically sharing the clipboard, which lets you manually share the clipboard only when you want to.

      I do use KDEConnect.

      I didn’t consider that. It may be syncing my clipboard to my phone and back.

      Is there an option to send the clipboard contents without permanently sharing the clipboard?

    Not a big fan of the clipboard setup in KDE. It records what you copy after you’ve copied something else. This can be turned off by reducing the history count to 1, but then you lose your clipboard data if the application you copied it from closes.

      Mostly, I just want to be able to copy/paste passwords and then delete them from the clipboard. It was concerning when I would delete the contents of my clipboard and the next day my password was back there again.

      Looks like it was the solution for me. You can disable clipboard sharing completely, or disable the automatic sharing if you want to still be able to share when you need to.

      This doesn’t help me. It’s specific to keepass and is user error in using the clipboard to copy instead of keepass’s copy feature.

      My case may very well be user error, but I can’t find a solution for it. It seems to keep a history of the last thing copied regardless of what I choose.
