SUMMARY
Cannot copy/paste between virtual desktops, despite the item appearing within
Clipboard widget history.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create two virtual desktops.
2. Copy something with explicit Ctrl+C or screenshot (that saves to clipboard)
from VD1.
3. Move to VD2
4. Try to paste. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Clipboard is empty. Item appears within clipboard history widget. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Paste should occur and paste the item that is in the history.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: CachyOS Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I sync the selection and clipboard contents, with "Keep the selection and
clipboard the same" and turn on "Always save text and non-text in history" it
will work between virtual desktops. 

PS: Sorry, wasn't sure if this was kwin, plasmashell, etc, so I leave that
determination up to you kind bug hunters....
