When I copy text the data is pulled into Klipper. Klipper does not
activate that selection. I always have to pop open the Klipper menu and
manually select that recent selection copy.
I have tried keeping the two different buffers in sync and not.
When I manually select the most recent selection from the popup menu,
Klipper pastes the selection as expected. The next time I copy a
different selection Klipper again "forgets" which selection is most recent.
My usage of any clipboard manager is the most recent selection is always
remembered and activated as selected for pasting. Klipper is not doing this.
I do not remember Klipper behaving this way in the past. I do not see
anything awry in klipperrc. Has something changed with Klipper behavior?
Thanks.

Does your install of Klipper keep the top most (most recent) selection
active (checked)? Mine doesn't, which means I always have to pop up the
history menu and manually (keyboard down arrow) to select.
I expect to manually select other entries in the history, but the most
recent should always be active.

I work in practically the exact opposite manner from yourself; I tend to
collect a whole pile of URLs, then want to act on them later, so I don't want
klipper automatically to pop up with an "open with" list of web browsers. For
me, that's very annoying. But what we all want is just for our machines to
obey and serve us.
So I gave it a try, just for the sake of experiment, and to add to the list. I
right-clicked on the klipper icon, then alt-ctrl-X, then tried to click on a
link in the TDE mailing list email; and sure enough, I get the klipper "open
with" dialog. So it works for me.
Then I undid these changes, alt-ctrl-X again to reverse, tried again, and I am
back to my usual. Myself, I prefer to use alt-ctrl-V, find my choice in the
list, then open a browser page manually. Maybe I am not in a hurry. Maybe I
am just a cranky old guy, but I like to do some things in a deliberate
manner.
Just to be sure, I repeated the experiment a few more times, enabling actions,
then disabling them, by alt-ctrl-X, and everything works fine.
It occurs to me that maybe you have some overlapping shortcuts in your system;
that is, another program or whatever is using that shortcut for something,
maybe a global shortcut. You might want to look in the Trinity Control Center
for any shortcuts that happen to use alt-ctrl-X (or ctrl-alt-X).

Hang in there. Nice thing about TDE: once you finallly track down the source
of a problem, it's easy enough to resolve, and *stays* resolved. Compared to
any other desktop out there, a user can actually get the machine to be an
obedient servant. Sometimes, though, it does take some time and work to get
that to happen.

Most "slicers" have some sort of similar functions.

Shoulda done it 30 years ago. My sense of balance is getting poorer at

Clipboard/Selection Behavior might need to be changed to get the behaviour
you want.
