How do I change clipboard timeout
-
Hi all,
my problem is, that the contents of the clipboard seems to vanish after about 10 minutes idle time. So when there is something in the clipboard I use over and over, then get up to do something else and return after 10 minutes the clipboard is empty.
It does not seem to be a problem of Linux Mint (latest version, all patches applied), as I made a test, where I could show, that the copied text exists even after an hour. -
@jilalf Hi, this is not something Vivaldi does, nor is there a setting to control it in a browser. This is something your OS does, or another program on your system.

@jilalf
Hi, this is the settings in KDE:
I can see clipboard entries made in Vivaldi from Yesterday.

@Pathduck Thanks for the reply. However I already could prove, that it is not the OS.
I'll make another test with another browser, to see, if it might be the form on the webpage, where I enter data. -
@mib2berlin Thanks for the reply. The problem can't be the history, since it is a matter of time, not the number of entries.

Does the issue coincide with screen lock events?

@yojimbo274064400 While this is indeed a very good thought, it can not be a screensaver or the lockscreen, as I made another test using Mozilla for this website. After one hour the contents of the clipboard was still there. So I can exclude the OS, the website, a screensaver or any process running in the background. It has also nothing to do with a setting for the clipboard. Until now Vivaldi seems to be the only source of the problem.
In case someone wants to try it, here's the website where I enter data: https://www.zooniverse.org
