Hi,

I had similar issues with 3.2.0 and 3.2.1 on FC1 (Athlon) on both PC and
laptop. I only press ALT 2-3 times before the menu start to behave again,
but it's not always effective ...

I had that as well but it turned out to be something connected to the screen

So do I. But it's not only Konsole ... it happens with GTK apps as well (I
mainly use Firefox), and when Firefox crashes I loose what I just copied
from it.

Good luck,
