Nope. It's intercepted by clipboard app to show the clipboard ring. I can trigger it from IDEA which is decidedly NOT a KDE application.

What do you mean clipboard ring? If you mean Klipper, just close it, that will determine if that's the source of the problem. It does not behave that way on my system, FWIW.

Well, with that attitude my software is perfect. After all, it doesn't crash. Oh, and when it crashes it doesn't take out the whole building. So that's OK.

I didn't say it's OK that these issues exist and I definitely didn't say it's perfect. You said "flaky and unusable", I took issue with that description.

And that proves my point.

No, it does not.

In the interest of balanced criticism here, it should be noted that Klipper was awful in KDE 3 as well. It was one of the first things I removed from the taskbar after having popped up for the tenth time wanting to open on my behalf some URL or other I was merely copying.
