Description of problem: Tested on F26-27-28 Recently I powered on older laptop with Fedora 26 with KDE Plasma that hasn’t been updated for some time. After update I quickly realized that there is something wrong with clipboard. On F26 without updates I was used to open multiple local KVM/QEMU VMs via virt-manager and for example one or two VMs on remote host over LAN and everything worked well - Windows VMs with installed Spice drivers and Fedora 26 VMs that have spice-vdagent installed by default. Copy & pasting text between VMs or just within host worked just fine. Then I updated F26 host. Clipboard worked just fine until I opened some VM windows. After that clipboard freezes time to time when pasting. Sometime pasting just don’t work and sometime when you press Ctrl + V all keyboard inputs freeze and keyboard simple stop working for a couple of seconds. The only workaround is to close VM windows. This is extremely irritating since you never know if Paste will or won’t work. I also tested this issue on F27 and F28. They all have this issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Everything is OK for: plasma-*-5.10.5 kf5-*-5.35.0 / 17.04.1 qt5-*-5.7.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F26 KDE Plasma, do not update 2. Run multiple VMs, some with F26 KDE Plasma, some with Windows with Spice drivers 3. Open virt-manager VM windows 4. Copy and paste in host inside for example Kate or between host and VM – everything works just fine 5. Update F26 host 6. Again copy/cut and paste – paste sometime won’t work and sometime it will also freeze keyboard for a couple of seconds 7. Close VM windows 8. Everything is OK again
