When I highlight text in Fedora-21/KDE it is transferred to the Clipboard, which I can access by the scissors icon ("Clipboard Contents") in my panel.
In Fedora-22/KDE the clipboard icon is changed - it looks like 2 sheets of paper but is still called "Clipboard Contents" - and highlighted text no longer appears there.
Am I missing something?

You may need to configure it to keep the clipboard and X selection in sync.

Thanks. That did the trick. The only difference now (from Fedora-21) is that if I click an entry in the Clipboard and then want to paste it into a text file, I have to right click and choose Paste from the options. Previously I could just center click.
Incidentally, why would anyone NOT want to keep clipboard and selection in sync? Shouldn't this be the default?
