Description

Steps for 1 item in the history

Say the clipboard is empty.

  1. Copy with "Ctrl+C" some text from any software (for example gedit). There's now 1 item in the clipboard history.

  2. Click on the clipman icon on the panel and choose "Clear".

Result: the item is not cleared, so there's still 1 item in the history.

  1. Click again on the clipman icon on the panel and choose "Clear".

Result: the history is now cleared. No item remains.

Steps for several items in the history

Say the clipboard is empty.

  1. Copy with "Ctrl+C" some text from any software (for example gedit). There's now 1 item in the clipboard history.

  2. Copy again with "Ctrl+C" some text. There's now 2 items in the history.

  3. Copy again with "Ctrl+C" some text. There's now 3 items in the history.

  4. Click on the clipman icon on the panel and choose "Clear".

Result: the first two items are cleared, but the last one remains, so there's still 1 item in the history.

  1. Click again on the clipman icon on the panel and choose "Clear".

Result: the history is now cleared. No item remains.
