ClipIt: I can't access Preferences
According to ClipIt: how to use actions? :
If you Right-Click on the ClipIt icon you will see the Preferences Item.
But that is not true! At least not on my Ubuntu 18.04. I get a list of clips whether I right-click or left-click.
I also asked the question on https://sourceforge.net/p/gtkclipit/support-requests/4/ but nobody has answered.

I also use Ubuntu 18.04 and ClipIt. At first i did config too many history items, and then indeed i had the same problem : at the bottom of the ClipIt list are 5 menu items (in order top to bottom) : Offline mode, About, Manage history, Preferences and Quit .. but they were not visible due to the config .. so i edit the file /home/[user]/.config/clipit/clipitrc and i changed items_menu=# to a lower number (mine is 18 max now, due to screen resolution and font size). If this was your problem, then here's how to solve it.

Thanks! That was probably the problem, but luckily I now use Clipboard Indicator instead. It doesn't have the problems that many other clipboard managers have in my experience. It has a max. of 50 history items. That is my setting.

I also had the same problem with VMWare + linux. I installed / updated vmtoolkits etc. Finally got the answer.
Troubleshooting :
1. Select some text (in browse, text file etc).
2. Press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V consequently very quickly. (In less than 1 second)
3. If the text get pasted, the problem is with the purging time of the OS.
Goto Preferences > History tab >
a) Deselect "Purge history after timeout" OR
b) :Put a larger value like 10 seconds for "Purge history after timeout"

Thanks! That was probably the problem, but luckily I now use Clipboard Indicator instead. It doesn't have the problems that many other clipboard managers have in my experience. It has a max. of 50 history items. That is my setting.
