It is impossible to copy filenames from the konsole window by selection with the mouse when they continue onto the next line. The clipboard then contains a newline, which when pasting causes nothing but trouble.

Obviously there are cases where the newlines are needed (selecting a list of whole lines), some intelligence in handling this is needed. xterm gets this right. Dunno what xterm algorithm is, but when I select by character or by word, I hardly ever want the newlines. Especially not mid-word, like in filenames.
