           Summary: Clicking text box form field auto-pastes clipboard
                    contents (replacing whatever was in it)
           Product: webkitkde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: webkit-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: echidnaman at kubuntu.org


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Clicking in any text edit form field causes the contents of the clipboard to be
pasted into the edit, replacing whatever had happened to be there. This is a
bit annoying, since a) the clipboard is usually occupied and b) even if you did
want to paste what was in the clipboard, you usually wouldn't want it to be the
first thing in the edit. You'd paste it where you wanted it after you had typed
a bit.

It gets worse than that, though. If you go to another window to copy something
to the clipboard (say the svn revision of webkitkde you are currently using),
giving focus back to the textedit will replace your bug report with "1073627".
I had to write this bug report up again. :( This is also technically dataloss
since ctrl + z to undo isn't implemented yet.

The webkit kpart has great potential, and I'm really looking forward to where
it will be in the future. It's just a bit aggrevating at the moment. :D

Using:

Qt 4.6.0
KDE 4.3.90
webkitkde svn revision 1073627

P.S. Doesn't happen in arora, if you were curious. ;-)
