Version: (using Devel) Compiler: gcc 4.4.0 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources To reproduce: * open any web page which has text and links * select some text with the mouse (click-drag) * click-drag a link Current behaviour: * the text selection grows up to the link text Desired behaviour (as in KDE 3): * the text selection is not changed, instead only the link is dragged The real issue is with Tablet PCs, where a click *always* results in small drag, and using Konqueror right now results in large parts of the web site getting selected when clicking on a link. Maybe you should use QApplication::startDragDistance() resp. QApplication::startDragTime() to make it usable on Tablet PCs.
To be more precise, dragging a link or image seems to start or update a selection. Even without previous selection dragging one link followed by another drag results in having everything in between selected.
