When working with documents in Writer, I get random pastes of what appears to be in my clipboard.  I likely pasted the text once, but it shows up in multiple random locations in the document.  I can go through and clean them up (delete them), and I swear they pop up elsewhere!  I can go to Manjaro's clipboard and clear it, and they still seem to creep in.

I have found a similar post regarding LibreOffice, and they pointed to hardware, or OS issues.

Anyone else see these issues?  I have not noticed this happening in any other application, but then again, I don't write a lot of text in any other application.

I will try to replicate this situation and then report back.

I've cloned my live SD card (on which I'd installed Manjaro) to the eMMC using dd. It worked like a charm at first try, but digging deeper, I've realized this was a risky move, that I should have used cat or something else. So please, don't do what I did, unless you want to.

oh... that is what the emmc installer is for...

your sdcard clone is probably broken, you just aren't yet aware.

Pretty sure dd is the way to go, this is how I copied Manjaro from the SD card to eMMC, too and it is working.

There are a number of directories that should NOT be copied,
they are empty until booted,,, dev, sys, proc, run
The directory should exist, empty
dd copies it and contents, and then it is not empty
rsync is the way, specific directories (all but above)

I should be more clear, I copied the disk device directly, not a mounted system. Computer was booted off an SD card, the Manjaro that was working for me was in an SD card reader in the USB slot, then I copied it from the USB to the eMMC with dd and it works.

How frequently should my install be getting updates?  I've been using the updater through KDE discover and haven't had any for a while now.

I just followed the instructions on the thread and now my Pinebook Pro will not boot.  It seemed as if the updates ran correctly from the terminal.  When I tried to reboot the only thing I get is a red light.  Can you please let me know what next steps might be in troubleshooting?
