    I reproduced this problem with konsole 1.4.1, kde 3.3.1-2.9.FC3 Red Hat and qt-3.3.4-0.fc3.0 at work.
    I first created a new account and then tested as the new user and did 'rm -rf .kde' too. The trick is to to cat a big file (cat /usr/share/dict/words) so you can have you konsole history buffer full (here the default is 1000). If the buffer is not full you can not duplicate this bug. After this type 'while /bin/usleep 500000; do echo $RANDOM; done', tripple-click a line (so you have whole line selected) and start moving your mouse slowly left and right on the same line. The bottom selection line moves with the output (1 more line of output, 1 more line selected downwards). To see the selection moving try tripple-clicking the 2-nd or the 3-rd visible line (the screen stops scrolling after this). In short:
    1. make sure your history is limited to some reasonable number of lines (less than `wc -l /usr/share/dict/words`).
    2. cat /usr/share/dict/words; while /bin/usleep 500000; do echo $RANDOM; done
    Is this reproducible now?
