Version: 4.2.00 (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages The selection does not behave properly in HTML text areas just like the one in which this bug is reported. You may find such areas in many places, e.g., on the right on that page: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea Suppose that the text does not fit into the area, so that you have to scroll to see some parts of the text. Now go to the end of the text. Try to select with mouse from the last character to the first character of the text. It is impossible because the text is not scrolling down, even when the mouse cursor is out the box. One cannot get the text scrolling down while selecting. This problem does not show up when selecting the text from the top to the end. In that case, the text is properly scrolling down while being selected.
I'm also seeing strange text selection behavior. For example, when working inside a text box (form, etc.) on a page, CTL-A should select all text within the text box only. Instead it selects all text outside the text box only. This may not be the exact same problem as that reported, but seems generally related to the same konqueror logic.
Thanks for the bug report! I can confirm the problem in 4.2.0 and trunk rev. 921919. Might be related to bug 182229. Comment 1 is bug 181180 which will be fixed in KDE 4.2.1.
(In reply to comment #2) > Might be related to bug 182229. right, it's a dup. added a testcase there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 182229 ***
