The Klipper General Configuration dialog has these options in the
section "Selection and Clipboard":

* Text selection only
  Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection
Only the second one is checked (*) in my configuration.  Are you
suggesting to check the third one as well, or instead, or something
else?
