           Summary: Selection in konsole is not cleared when another
                    application takes over the selection buffer.
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at hjernemadsen.org


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

I've just started using konsole (having used rxvt for quite a while), and
unlike rxvt and other applications (like e.g. konqueror), the selection in
konsole isn't cleared when another application takes over the selection buffer
(e.g. by selecting something in another konsole window).

I don't know if this is intentional,  but it annoyed me enough that I've
written a patch to fix this, which will be attached shortly.

I've implemented the clearing of the selection in the TerminalWindow class, as
this is also the class that takes care of informing the Screen and ScreenWindow
classes of mouse-initiated selection changes, so I hope that I haven't violated
the MVC hierarchy.
