           Summary: too easy to select text accidentally in konsole
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mw_triad at users.sourceforge.net


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

With 'click to focus' policy, activating konsole with the mouse is very
annoying, as I find that I very often end up selecting text if I click on the
main area (as opposed to the little tiny targets that are the title bar or the
active tab).

I'd like for it to be harder to select text by accident when simply
single-clicking on konsole in the main area. Perhaps this could be done by
setting up a one-shot timer for a short delay (say, about 300 ms), and not
making a selection if the mouse-up event arrives within this time. (The theory
is that if I /want/ to select something, I will be holding the mouse button for
longer than this to get an accurate selection... besides that I'll notice
nothing being selected until the timeout occurs, so the side-effects should be
nearly non-existent.)
