Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 4.0.2 OS: Solaris What this means is: 1. We have a select box with multiple items defined. 2. We change focus to one of the items in the select box and issue a select all command. 3. Result: Konqueror selects all text on the page. This is unintuitive and should select all of the select list elements instead. What's funny is that the only other browser that seems to do it in an intuitive fashion is Opera. Even IE, FireFox, and Mozilla select all standard text elements on the rendered page instead of the select list elements. It's very easy to duplicate. Open any bugzilla (http://bugs.kde.org) query page, move mouse to an element within "Status" and select all. Result: Not what you expected.
the query page is http://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi described behaviour confirmed on 3.5.2. Moreover strange things happen when you try to select a heading such as "Status and Severity". It's not easy to select it!
confirmed for 3.5.5 I have experienced this behaviour myself.
Created attachment 21985 [details] Screenshot of example behaviour Duplicated by: ctrl-a while selection is within "severity" list.
Your wish has been granted in KDE4 (SVN build. kdelibs rev. 793966) : selecting a element then pressing control-A actually select all elements.
I can confirm which it is working correctly on trunk (r802881). Bug closed.
Bug (such as it is) still exists in 4.3.0 (and also in firefox-3.5.2).
This is still not fixed. Go to http://bugs.kde.org, choose advanced search, select an area with multiple selectable entries (like bug status) and hit ctrl-a.
Also, my last comment was in reference to Konqueror 4.3.3 under KDE 4.3.3
This KHTML bug still exists in kf5-khtml-5.83.0 ; it's not Solaris-specific. (To see it, though, you need to set Konqueror to use KHTML as renderer, which isn't the default I don't think).
Dear user, KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6. Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component. We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes. For security issues, please see: https://kde.org/info/security/ Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML. Greetings Christoph Cullmann
