            Bug ID: 483784
           Summary: Super-user file manager can't paste
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.02.0
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
When logged in as a regular user, and then using the super-user version of
Dolphin to copy/paste, I am able to "copy" the files but everywhere I try to
paste them the "paste" option (from the right-click menu) is missing.  Ctrl-V
doesn't work either.  Under the menu-bar if you click "Edit" the Paste option
is greyed out. 
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open the "Super User" version of file manager
2.  Browse to a folder and right-click on a file and select "copy"
3.  Right-click and there is no "paste" option.  Additionally "paste" in the
pull-down menu's is greyed out

OBSERVED RESULT
Unable to paste while in the super-user version of Dolphin.  Additionally I
typically use this to copy files that are out of my regular users permission
tree (such as docker volumes).  If I "copy" from there in the super-user
Dolphin, then open a regular dolphin the Paste option is present.  However, in
this case the non-super-user version of Dolphin doesn't have permission to
paste the files so I get a permission error.  The only way I can copy or move
files (some with long difficult to type names!) is to use the console

EXPECTED RESULT
Cut/Copy/Paste work as usual for graphical programs while in the super-user
version of Dolphin.  This just started happening after upgrade to Plasma-6 (I'm
on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
KDE Plasma Version:  6.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version:  6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
