           Summary: Can't select text with mouse when certain ncurses
                    programs are running (e.g., pinfo)
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut nothingisreal com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I have noticed that when running certain ncurses programs in a konsole, the standard xterm select/copy technique of simply dragging the mouse across text does not work.  No highlight bar appears and no text is copied.

One such program is pinfo <http://freshmeat.net/projects/pinfo/>, a popular info browser with a lynx-like interface.  I often want to copy and paste example code from an info file into an editor, but I can't do this from pinfo.
