[Konsole-devel] Bug#46282: konsole selection doesn't work once it starts scrolling

[ulwarth at yahoo.com]

Package: konsole
Version: 1.1.2 (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4
OS/Compiler notes: 

Just upgraded to 3.0.2 from 3.0.0.  When I first run Konsole, selecting text works fine as usual.  Once the screen scrolls past the first page and the scrollbar becomes active, selection no longer works.  I have created two images to illustrate this.

Here, I have clicked down at the text "node.o" in the middle of the page.  No matter where I drag the cursor, the highlight stays in the same position - the one shown in this image.

Scrolling up, I see this:

Now what's interesting is that if I go back to the very first page, selection seems to work correctly.  It's text beyond the first page where the bug appears.
