           Summary: Regression: Konsole copying into clipboard does not
                    work when started applications such as mc.
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: andrej at rep.kiev.ua


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Sometimes something bad happens with Konsole. I found in Google that it happens
since KDE4.2 and not only konsole is affected but may be people are wrong, I've
said that JFYI. What exactly happens: usually I like to use mc and sometimes I
need to copy some text from viewer or editor to clipboard. I had no problems
with that with konsole up to KDE 3.5 but with KDE 4.3.2 (tried 4.3.5 too with
the same result) it does not work anymore - mouse left button cannot select
anything.

How to reproduce it: After X-server is restarted Konsole text selection works
again. After you logoff from KDE4 session and logon again - it does not!

Quick workaround for this bug is to uncomment and change setting in your
/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc file (section [X-:*-Core]) to TerminateServer=true. Not
sure though if the bug will never return in existing session, I hope it
wouldn't but I've installed KDE4 just lately and don't have enough experience
yet.

It's definitely KDE4 bug, not sure if it's exactly konsole related but I think
it's critical one - why I should kill X-server in a hurry and restart all my
work after that just due to weird konsole? I'm not on windows vista at least.
Fix it ASAP, please. :)
