'Paste from clipboard' not being cleared.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In the application settings, set the clipboard timeout to anything other 
than 'Never'.
2. Copy username and password from an entry to the clipboard.
3. Wait for clipboard timeout. 'Clipboard cleared' message will be shown on 
screen.
4. Long-tap a text field until the options are shown. Select 'Paste from 
clipboard' to see that the clipboard was not cleared.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output should be that both the 'Paste' selection and the 'Paste 
from clipboard' selection should be cleared after the clipboard timeout time 
has passed. Instead, only the 'Paste' selection is cleared. All entries in the 
'Paste from clipboard' selection remain.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Motorola Droid X
System version Version.2.3.340.MB810.Verizon.en.US
Android version 2.2.1

Please provide any additional information below.

If you were to start with a cleared clipboard, copy only one entry to the 
clipboard, and then wait for it be cleared, it would still show up in the 
'Paste from clipboard' selection the next time you copied something to the 
clipboard.

“VClipboard” is a built-in app that stores several of the last “copies’ 
to the real clipboard.  It is not getting cleared by KeePassDroid.  The regular 
clipboard is getting cleared just fine by KeePassDroid.  There are many ways to 
reproduce this behavior but this method should work for everyone. Open 
KeePassDroid, and copy either a user name or password to the clipboard.  Then 
open the default Android browser and go to Google.com.  Click-hold on the 
Google web search field (the one on the web page itself) and select “Paste 
From clipboard”.  You will be presented with the recent clipboard history 
including the last entry inserted by KeePassDroid.  While the “Paste From 
clipboard” window is open, you can clear the VClipboard contents by pressing 
the Menu button and selecting “Clear”.  The only other way is to press: 
Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage applications/All/VClipboard/Clear data.  
I’ve not found a way to make a shortcut to this app.
I've been using Keepass for many years on PC and PocketPC.
I'm using a Droid X (not rooted) with Android 2.2.1.
Please contact me if I can be of further help and thanks very much for porting 
this to Android.  Great work!!!

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say 'Paste from clipboard' 
selection.

It may be a Motorola app. com.motorla.service.main includes a package called 
"Rich Clipboard" which may be what I'm referring to.

I see. I didn't realize Motorola had a customized clipboard. I don't know if 
there is a programmatic way for me to clear it from my app.

Just discovered this as well.  When I chose "Paste from Clipboard" in my Atrix 
4G, I was shocked to see a history of the last 10 passwords that had been 
copied to the clipboard by keepassdroid.  Being new to Android, I didn't 
realize this behavior was specific to Motorola.  

There is some further discussion (perhaps by one of the posters here?) of this 
problem here: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/321682
