Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)

Hi,

today I copied http://Webstandards.org/acid2 into klipper, then a string "Motor-". Then I started writing emails with KMail (but no copy&paste actions).

From that point on, klipper kept popping up the Webstandards.org URL about every ten seconds. I tried backtracing this with gdb but couldn't really get anything helpful:

(gdb) bt 20

#11 0x0804ef5c in handle_launcher_request ()
#12 0x0804f519 in handle_requests ()
#13 0x0804fcea in main ()


This kept going on until I cleared klipper's history. I don't know how to debug this further, but it seems there is a bug in klipper's way of remembering which strings have already caused a popup (and not to pop them up again unless explicitly requested by hotkey or whatever).

My klipper configuration is from KDE 3.1.x, upgraded through KDE 3.2 and 3.3.[02] until KDE 3.4.0. I am using the SuSE 9.2 RPM packages from SuSE for KDE 3.4.0.

Thanks,

Jens
