Hello folks, I have an unusual problem. I am running KDE Plasma 6.3.3 inside Sway, everything works surprisingly well except for the Clipboard (and Flameshot, but that's besides the point).
My problem is that sometimes when I copy text, the clipboard behavior is inconsistent. Newly copied text appears behind previously copied text in KDE's clipboard history instead of at the top as expected.
My Sway config looks like this:
# Default config for sway
#
# Copy this to ~/.config/sway/config and edit it to your liking.
#
# Read `man 5 sway` for a complete reference.
### Variables
#
# Logo key. Use Mod1 for Alt.
set $mod Mod4
# Home row direction keys, like vim
#set $left h
#set $down j
#set $up k
#set $right l
# Your preferred terminal emulator
set $term konsole
# Your preferred application launcher
#set $menu rofi -show drun --normal-window | xargs swaymsg exec --
set $menu rofi -show drun
set $browser zen-browser
set $filemanager dolphin
### Output configuration
#
# Default wallpaper (more resolutions are available in /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/)
output * bg /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/Sway_Wallpaper_Blue_1920x1080.png fill
#
# Example configuration:
#
# output HDMI-A-1 resolution 1920x1080 position 1920,0
#
# You can get the names of your outputs by running: swaymsg -t get_outputs
### Idle configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#
# exec swayidle -w \
# timeout 300 'swaylock -f -c 000000' \
# timeout 600 'swaymsg "output * power off"' resume 'swaymsg "output * power on"' \
# before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000'
#
# This will lock your screen after 300 seconds of inactivity, then turn off
# your displays after another 300 seconds, and turn your screens back on when
# resumed. It will also lock your screen before your computer goes to sleep.
### Input configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#
# input "2:14:SynPS/2_Synaptics_TouchPad" {
# dwt enabled
# tap enabled
# natural_scroll enabled
# middle_emulation enabled
# }
#
# You can get the names of your inputs by running: swaymsg -t get_inputs
# Read `man 5 sway-input` for more information about this section.

# Scratchpad:
#
# Sway has a "scratchpad", which is a bag of holding for windows.
# You can send windows there and get them back later.
# Move the currently focused window to the scratchpad
bindsym $mod+Shift+minus move scratchpad
# Show the next scratchpad window or hide the focused scratchpad window.
# If there are multiple scratchpad windows, this command cycles through them.
bindsym $mod+minus scratchpad show
#
# Resizing containers:
#
mode "resize" {
# left will shrink the containers width
# right will grow the containers width
# up will shrink the containers height
# down will grow the containers height
# Ditto, with arrow keys
bindsym Left resize shrink width 10px
bindsym Down resize grow height 10px
bindsym Up resize shrink height 10px
bindsym Right resize grow width 10px
# Return to default mode
bindsym Return mode "default"

Type=ApplicationI tried clipboard-sync, which introduced different problems (like copy pasting files not working, xwayland inserting randomly empty entries into the clipboard, etc)
Or configuring the Clipboard inside KDE, if I tick "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" and "Only when explicitly copied" it fixes the order issue, but introduces pasting errors, when I try to paste text over other text it just pastes the text that I am trying to remove.
Currently I work around the issue by spamming ctrl+c to make sure what I want to copy appears in the right position, but this is not a long term solution.
I also would prefer to keep the KDE Plasma and Sway set up, it is working as expected (or better, based on your expectations).
