            Bug ID: 351490
           Summary: Incomplattibility with clusterssh (and other non kde
                    apps) - X11 copy and paste stops working
           Product: konsole
           Version: 15.04.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: copy-paste
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: frederik.nosi at gmail.com

At first, i'm not 100% sure this is only a konsole bug as even alt+tab stops
working, but the selection problem happens only with konsole, so I'm filing it
here.

This bug was reported to the Fedora bugtracker too, there's some more info in
there too:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254254

but no reply after 2 days.

Steps to reproduce:

Keep konsole open, launching clusterssh with a cluster (so it opens some
xterms).
Do a copy and paste operation in one of the xterms opened by clusterssh. From
now on on konsole X11 selection and kde (right click menu) copy and paste will
stop working.


This happens with other randoom non KDE X11 applications, but that's the
easiest way for me to 100% reproduce this bug.

In the xsession-error.log, when C&P does not work i see:

QXcbClipboard::setMimeData: Cannot set X11 selection owner
QXcbClipboard::setMimeData: Cannot set X11 selection owner
QXcbClipboard::setMimeData: Cannot set X11 selection owner



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open konsole
2. launch clusterssh (http://sourceforge.net/projects/clusterssh/) with a
cluster (the command assumes you have clusterssh installed and sshd enabled on
your local machine):
    cssh localhost
3. do a random copy and paste in the newly opened xterm

In my ~/.xsession-errors i see:

QXcbClipboard::setMimeData: Cannot set X11 selection owner

during selection on konsole while it isn't working




Actual Results:  
selection copy and paste does not work anymore on konsole.

As a tangent in my case even alt+tab stops working but a nohup kwin --replace
restores alt+tab so this i think should be a kwin related issue, just
mentioning this for completeness.



Expected Results:  
X11 copy and paste to work correctly regardless of applications.

Just ask for any more info needed, or if it's not a kde / konsole problem
please point me where to file a bug report in case.


As a "workaround" for now i'm using gnome teminal, though it's more than 10
years that i use konsole daily for hours and I'm used to it.

Thanks in advance,
Frederik
