screenshot showing the wrong map selection

Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

when dragging a rather large selection box in the map search tool, it often
does not select the desired area, but a larger area instead. as an example, see
the attached screenshot. here i put a box around australia (grey rectangle),
but the returned selection apparantly is the whole southern hemisphere; it for
sure returned pictures located in southern africa and america. see the blue
line going straight up from the south pole.

it seems to me that this problem only shows up when the selection box is quite
big (as australia). when selecting a smaller area, everything works as
expected, see second screenshot.

Reproducible: Sometimes
