            Bug ID: 467383
           Summary: Konsole often fails to copy text to either mouse
                    buffer or paste buffer
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 22.08.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY

Konsole often fails to copy text to either mouse buffer or paste buffer
properly.

Sometimes it works normally, sometimes I get only part of the selected text
snippet, and sometimes it refuses to copy at all.

The issue is intermittent - sometimes randomly appearing and disappearing even
within a single terminal if I generate more terminal output, but consistently
works or fails as long as the terminal output remains unchanged.

The issue occurs both with same-line selection and multi-line.

The visual selection indicator works fine - the issue appears if I select text
in konsole then try to paste it elsewhere with either ctrl+V or middle mouse.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  run konsole, generate some text on the terminal (eg cat a text file, run a
program)
2.  ???
3.  select text and either middle mouse elsewhere, or ctrl+shift+c (or right
click menu) to copy and ctrl+v elsewhere.

Unfortunately I haven't found a *consistent* way to reproduce the issue just
yet, but I'll comment here if I do find one.

OBSERVED RESULT

Sometimes all the selected text is pasted.
Sometimes only the first part of the selected text is pasted - although the
length seems pseudo-random.
Sometimes a previous selection or copy is pasted, as if konsole didn't touch
the paste buffers at all.

Either way, both paste buffer and mouse buffer either end up with the same
contents or are unaltered from before selecting - so it seems like the issue is
with however konsole decides what text has been selected before allocating it
to an appropriate buffer.

EXPECTED RESULT

Appropriate buffers are updated with the full selection, and the complete
selected text can be pasted.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455165 seems related, however my
selections aren't consistently getting broken exactly at column 81, and the
issue is intermittent for me.
