Summary: NEEDINFO: Crash when copying from R terminal

Initial Comment:
RKward from SVN as of today reliably crashes when trying to copy text from the R console. This is on Fedora 15, where Qt is 4.7.3 (revision 6.fc15).

Message:
I've found one important factor: it only happens when using focus follows
mouse. I understood that by reading the part of the Qt code that crashes
(see below).

About your questions: it happens when merely trying to copy a few chars
using the Copy item from the top of the context menu of the terminal, or
the Edit->Copy item. Copy to Output works, though. So the content of the
terminal doesn't seem relevant.

I'm getting a Broken Install error dialog on start, but RKward works very
well despite it, so I'm not sure it can be related (how can I find out what
exactly is broken in my installation?).

2800	    //Whenever we leave an alien widget on X11, we need to reset its
nativeParentWidget()'s cursor.
2801	    // This is not required on Windows as the cursor is reset on
every single mouse move.
2802	    QWidget *parentOfLeavingCursor = 0;
2803	    for (int i = 0; i < leaveList.size(); ++i) {
2804	        w = leaveList.at(i);
2805	        if (!isAlien(w))
2806	            break;
2807	        if (w->testAttribute(Qt::WA_SetCursor)) {
2808	            QWidget *parent = w->parentWidget();
2809	            while (parent && parent->d_func()->data.in_destructor)

Message:
Hi!

I cannot reproduce this. Could you give some more detail:
a) There are a whole bunch of copy-actions: Copy selection literally, Copy
commands only, and Copy lines to output. Which were you using? From the
Edit->Menu? From the RMB context menu? Using a keyboard shortcut?
b) Perhaps the content of the R console is relevant? Could you give an
example that triggers the crash? Are you trying to copy everything, or only
a specific range?

Regards
Thomas
