echoed input appears twice in the tabs other than the one it was entered in, here.

Status update:  The feature was removed in KDE 4.0 because it doesn't work properly (in several ways).  It is on my list of KNOWN ISSUES to resolve in future releases.

sounds like a responsible way to handle it; thanks for the attention to the problem. look forward to it being back in a future release, it is quite a useful feature.

SVN commit 796545 by knight:

Re-implement 'Send Input to All' (now Edit -> Copy Input To...)

Improvements in the KDE 4 version:

- Input can be copied to all other sessions or only a subset of sessions,
  selection is via a filter-able list which appears when 'Copy Input To...' is clicked.
- Input can be sent from a tab in one window to a tab in another window
  (all sessions in all windows are displayed in the filter window)
