            Bug ID: 319260
           Summary: triple-click with very long lines only selects part
                    that is visible
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: copy-paste
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk

If a very long line is displayed which extends above or below the currently
visible area, then triple-clicking on part of that line selects only the part
of the line which is visible.  The text which is logially part of the same line
but which is scrolled out of view is not selected.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  The screen shots were taken during a build of WebKit, which produces very
long complier command lines.  But the same can be demonstrated with a command
such as, for example, "ls -l | tr '\n' ' '".  Execute this command in an empty
Konsole and ensure that it produced enough text to scroll some off the top.

2.  Triple-click somewhere in the bottom 1/3 of the window to select the line.

3.  Scroll up or down, observe that the selection stops at the original visible
area boundary.

Actual Results:  
Not all of the line is selected, those parts of it that were originally not
visible are not selected.


Expected Results:  
All of the line should be selected regardless of whether it was visible or not.
