Hi @PavelDvorak , the data is present in the copyQ ".dat" file in COPYQ_ITEM_DATA_PATH. So, on changing the history back to 10 items, the old locked items should come back.

Thanks for the report! Fixing in #3159.
This is normally true, but if you change something in the tab (add, remove or edit an item), the data file is overwritten containing at most the number of item limited by the configuration (any other items are dropped).
