           Summary: Text selection is impossible using a moving mouse cursor
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6.3
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: development--bugs.kde.org medium net


Version:           1.6.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Try to select some Konsole text using a constantly moving mouse (i.e. move the mouse all the time, press the selection mouse button (the left mouse button) and release it.)

Expected results:
- Some text is selected after releasing the first mouse button.

Actual results:
- Some text gets selected shortly up to the time when the first mouse button is released. At mouse button release, the selection immediately gets deselected. Selecting or copying to clipboard is not possible.

This behaviour does not appear at other X applications (like mozilla seamonkey, jEdit, Kate).

Getting to select anything within a Konsole window currently requires that the mouse does not move by any pixel while releasing the first mouse button. This is virtually impossible if high resolution (1200dpi or more) mice are used.
