Bug#1114663: When "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" is checked, it is difficult to paste from emacs
Package: plasma-workspace
Version: 4:6.3.6-2
SUMMARY
When "Keep the selection and clipboard the same", then selecting anything in emacs often results in empty string to be selected instead. No problem observed if "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" left blank.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In clipboard, check the box "Keep the selection and clipboard the same"
2. Doubleclick on a word in emacs to select it
3. Attempt to paste it into another application (or even elsewhere in emacs itself)
OBSERVED RESULT
Often, nothing is pasted (or sometimes the previous selection)
However, if "Text Selection->Always save in history" is also checked, the selected text is still stored in the history
EXPECTED RESULT
Selected word should be pasted.
