--- Comment #3 from Prajna Sariputra <putr4.s at gmail.com> ---
It doesn't seem limited to the URL bar, clicking the Copy button in the
passwords page as well as the Copy button when taking a screenshot in the
browser also do not work.

This is with Plasma 5.27.6 and Firefox 115.0.1 on Wayland and Arch Linux,
although it has been like this for quite a long while (to the point where
copying the URL, pasting it into whatever text field I can find in the site and
then copying out of that is almost muscle memory now). On Sway this bug does
not appear.

Also, I noticed that when there is something on the clipboard already
attempting to copy the URL clears the clipboard, although Klipper/the clipboard
manager doesn't notice.

In addition, I also tried running a nested KWin Wayland session on top of
Plasma X11 by running `export $(dbus-launch); kwin_wayland --xwayland
--x11-display :0`, then running `WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
firefox` to start Firefox in the nested KWin session, followed by running
`WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland kate` to run Kate in Wayland
mode in that same KWin session, and finally trying to copy from Firefox's URL
bar to Kate, which also did not work. So, since as I understand it Klipper
would not be running in that nested KWin Wayland session I'm also moving the
bug to KWin instead of the generic KDE category it is in at the moment.
