           Summary: "Copy" functionality broken in file listings and KHTML
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kdeui
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jpetso at gmx.at
                CC: konq-bugs at kde.org


I'm not sure if this is specific to my system, please try to reproduce at your
place too.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure Klipper (KDE 4 version) is running. Whether "Actions enabled" is
checked or not doesn't make a difference for me.

(Making sure that Copy normally works.) 
2. Open Kate. Write "blah", select it, and press Ctrl-C to copy it to the
clipboard. If you open Klipper's context menu, you see "blah" as top entry in
the list.
3. Open Konqueror. Focus on the location bar, press Ctrl-V to paste the text,
and see it appear.

(Example where copying does not work.)
4. In Konqueror, go to your home directory. Select a file and press Ctrl-C to
copy its URL. (Alternatively, you can also copy with RMB -> Copy, that doesn't
work either here.) If you open Klipper's context menu, you see the URL as top
entry in the list.
5. However! pasting the URL to a text box does not work. Focus Konqueror's
location bar again, and press Ctrl-V to paste the URL. Nothing happens.

(Another example where copying does not work... as expected, that is)
6. Select the text "KDE Bug Tracking System" at the top of this HTML page. Or
any other text in the page, for that matter. Press Ctrl-C to copy the text. If
you open Klipper's context menu, you see the URL as top entry in the list.
7. Focus the location bar, and press Ctrl-V to paste the text. Does not work;
instead, the previously copied text is inserted.

(Wtf.)
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7, with the exception that you don't press Ctrl-C to copy
the text but RMB -> Copy. That *will* actually work. (Hm... muted/stolen
shortcut maybe? Who knows.)

Now I'm not sure if that is two separate bugs or whatever, but copying to the
clipboard is badly broken for me. No idea if Klipper, KHTML, KFile or kdelibs
are responsible for that (of course, the Konqueror file examples also work in
Dolphin), so I'm posting it to kdelibs for a first guess. CC'ing konq-bugs too,
that stuff directly affects Konqueror the most.
