            Bug ID: 301942

           Summary: copying text from other app and pasting with MMB in
                    konsole pastes different text
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: phartshorn at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: copy-paste
           Product: konsole

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 konsole has been ignoring the system clipboard
when pasting via MMB. It pastes text that was previously selected from within a
konsole window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open console and type "hello world"
2. select the text using LMB
3. paste into another application's text input (ie, urlbar in chrome)
4. type some different text in the application's text input ("goodbye cruel
world")
5. select the text from the other application
6. paste with MMB in in konsole.
Actual Results:  
The text "hello world" is pasted into the konsole window

Expected Results:  
The text "goodbye cruel world" should be pasted in the konsole window

Whilst searching for a solution to this problem, I have come across some pages
stating that konsole does not use the "global" clipboard but rather its own.
IMO, the implementation as it stands breaks some fundamental functionality that
has existed in the X environment since as long as I can remember.
