Well, this problem is not solved exactly as requested. 

The KDE3 konsole has a option "require ctrl key for drag and drop", and it is
checked by default so the default behavior is ctrl is requried for draging
selected text. I think that default behavior is the right choice.

The KDE4 konsole seems to have removed that option in previous versions and
ctrl key was not required for draging selected text , which is potentially
dangerous. That is why this report is opend. I agree with that opinion,
especially comment #12. 

The fix is simply requring ctrl for draging selected text. It does not restore
the KDE3 option as requested. I personally think that is OK and enough.

As I mentioned in comment #16, "In the future, if many users complain about
this fix and request the KDE3 option, that option may be added". Yes, the
latest KDE4 konsole do not have that option and ctrl is ALWAYS required for
draging selected text.
