Summary0009860: Copy paste not working with KDE Plasma
Description

@arnaudr you mentioned I should open up a new bug report if copy paste doesn't work, so here I am. I installed the latest VMware workstation (26H1u1) on a Windows 11. Tried both the standard ISO and the netinst ISO. Followed the Kali docs on how to configure the VM (https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-vmware-guest-vm/).

The result is the same as what I observed previously with other OSes like Fedora as well as on Kali: I can copy from host and paste to VM, but I can't copy from VM and paste to host. As soon as I log out and switch to "Plasma (X11)", both copy paste directions work.

If you need any further info to reproduce this issue, please let me know.
