At the risk of sounding like the proverbial 'broken record' --what's a 
record??-- I discovered some time back that if one is using klipper, it is 
probably a good idea to disable the 'Prevent empty clipboard' setting.  The 
behaviour you describe is along the line of what I was experiencing prior to 
disabling it.  KDE has had a long-standing problem with this, running over 
several releases.

If you're not running klipper, please accept my apologies/condolences. ;-)
