My apologies, I accidentally selected the wrong status for this bug report.

Please let me assure you, we are all striving towards better quality software
at KDE. We use these products on a daily basis and so are also invested in
making sure they are of the highest quality.

I'm sorry you feel this way, no disrespect was meant at all.

Unfortunately this is a limitation in Bugzilla. Many discussions have been
taking place recently around moving to a more flexible solution with better
workflows.

If you can confirm this bug is still plaguing Konsole please change the status
to CONFIRMED, then a developer will take a look at the issue and work towards a
possible solution.
