           Summary: Need to copy a subject twice for it to actually get

    Classification: I don't know

Screen recording of KDE's Kate app trying to demonstrate an annoying issue
where copy+paste only works reliably when copying is done twice.

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Paste somewhere, anywhere i.e. on Kate just to see what's the current item
on your clipboard.
2. Copy (or Cut) a new thing to clipboard **once** - the action to copy could
be through a keybind (i.e. `Ctrl + C`), a context menu, or click-to-copy
operations such as in KDE's Emoji Selector or any website on a browser like
Firefox. What you copy could also be anything, it could be text, or could be a
file on Dolphin.
3. Paste anywhere on the same app or a different app.

EXPECTED RESULT
What gets pasted should be what you had just copied or cut to your clipboard in
step 2.

OBSERVED RESULT
What gets pasted will be what you had in your clipboard in step 1. To achieve
the expected result when this bug occurs, you need to actually perform step 2
**TWICE**, rather than once.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I did not have this issue yesterday or earlier today (on the same login
session), and nothing (obvious) could be the trigger (i.e. not recently updated
or restarted the system before experiencing this, or installed/uninstalled
anything, restarted any services, configured any settings, etc.)

I'm almost certain though, that if I restart my system now, that this issue
will be "fixed" - so I'm trying to avoid that until I receive advice on how to
find what's causing this or how to fix it. I have attached a video to
demonstrate this happening on Kate, but as I have described on how to reproduce
the issue, it happens on pretty much anywhere and not only with text-based
clipboard content such as on a browser like Firefox, terminals like Konsole and
Alacritty, text editors like Kate and Visual Studio Code, and even file
managers like Dolphin.
