Description Maciej Pilichowski 2009-07-08 07:09:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Line selection with mouse -- you click 3 times and you get line selected.

Currently there is some inconsistency among KDE apps -- some include LF (Konsole, Kate) some not (Konqueror). I prefer the latter behaviour but with Konsole it is another issue -- LF at the end is usually not needed, worse, it is an obstacle. LF is easy to achieve (you have to press enter) but hard to remove (in my case -- ctrl+c, up to bring bash history, delete).

So it would be better to select a sentence (line w/o LF) and if user needs he/she can press enter easily.

There appears to be no definitive say on what 3 clicks should do.  The other terminal I tried did as Konsole does.  I might agree that it should leave out the LF.
