Description alexsaa 2007-12-02 06:33:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:           CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
OS:                Linux

When I have a line 'a b c' in konsole, and this line is not the last line, I cannot select the space between 'b' and 'c'. The line is selected up to the end to give ' c\n' instead.

Example:

user@host ~ $ echo -e "a\0040b\0040c"; echo zzz
a b c
zzz
user@host ~ $

Here, I can select the space between 'a' and 'b', the space between 'echo' and 'zzz', but not between 'b' and 'c'.
Also, it is not possible to select 'a b '.

Confirmed. Running Konsole 1.6.6 and Konsole 2.0. Simplified command to: echo "1 2". For some reason, you can select "1", "1 2", and "1 2\n", but not "1 ".

Confirmed here also; this seems to be a regression from 1.6.6. It's also unneeded to execute the command, I can reproduce on the prompt line as well. It seems to happen iff the line ends with a space followed by a non-space (i.e. with ' 1', but not ' 12').

Simplest test appears to be typing a single character at your prompt (assuming there is a space after the prompt, otherwise add a typed space), and try to select just the space.

KDE3 is not supported these days.  Reopen if you reproduce in KDE4.

Seems NOT to reproduce with 4.4.5. However, rarely it is not possible now to select " c" in the first or " 2" in the second example. That does not annoy.
