Description Boyan Anastasov 2008-02-23 11:41:09 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

When trying to mark any text konsole is crashing.
I've found that the option in the file:
$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

[General]
SynchronizeClipboardAndSelection=true

causes the problem. To make it happen all konsoles must be closed after
changing the option to true and then opened.
Additionaly setting the option in Klipper "Synchronize contents of the
clipboard and the selection" does not set it to true, so it must be changed by hand.
I have this option set because kde settings are from the older kde 3.
I'm not using klipper - it is disabled, but no difference if it is started.
I've reproduced the problem on 2 PC's with only adding this option in kdeglobals file.

I've created bug report in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433826

and was suggested to open bug report here.
I have attached there backtrace from the crash with debug information
from qt4-4.3.3-8.fc9.i386 and kdebase-4.0.1-3.fc9.i386 packages.
This is the backtrace:

I cannot reproduce in Konsole 2.1 using Qt 4.4 Beta 1.
Comment 2 Boyan Anastasov 2008-03-21 23:17:18 UTC
I understand that maybe in trunk this is the latest version, but kdebase-4.0.2 (konsole 2.0) is the newest I can find in fedora development (rawhide) and is the current version in kde.org. It is still crashing with this version, but if this is not the case with the version from trunk - fine.

> It is still crashing with this version, but if this is not the case with the version from trunk - fine

I don't know that this is the case.  There might be some other difference between my setup and yours.  

Comment #1 was just a note that I have read the report and attempted to reproduce it without succcess.  Unfortunately I don't have a complete checkout of the KDE 4.0 branch so I cannot test from exactly the same code you are using.  
Comment 4 Dario Andres 2008-12-05 18:09:40 UTC
Can anyone still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta1 / 4.2svn)? Thanks :)
Comment 5 Boyan Anastasov 2008-12-06 10:00:44 UTC
I can't reproduce it anymore with Konsole Version 2.2 Using KDE 4.1.80 (KDE 4.1.80 (KDE 4.2 Beta1)) from Fedora rawhide. Thanks!
Is this option actually used anymore?
