Version: 0.12.4 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-10-generic 1. Copy some text from the conversation, using ctrl+c shortcut 2. Write something in the chat textbox and try to copy it with ctrl+c: won't work The ctrl+c seems to always copy the chat window even if the focus is in the chat textbox. Altough I use the selection clipboard a lot, sometimes I need to use the ctrl+c/v one.
It's truth for me too. It's a bit annoying.
Created attachment 21739 [details] krichtexteditpart.cpp.diff The chat window uses a custom rich text edit that circumvents the KDE/QT shortcut handling to be able to use the enter key as a shortcut for sending messages. Unfortunately the copy shortcut gets filtered as well, leading to the results you described. The patch attached (against kde 4 svn) limits the shortcut overriding to the enter key only, other shortcuts like copying are handled by KDE/QT so that copying from a chat window via shortcuts works again.
The attached patch is in trunk and I also can confirm that this bug is fixed in trunk.
