Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux When writing text, you have the option to write on a solid color or transparent (i. e. blend in with the background). This option does no longer work, however. To achieve the same effect, you need to chose the transparent color as your secondary color. Also pasting while using the transparent paste mode does not work, it seems only the white colored parts survive the rest doesnt get pasted (already visible while still dragging the pasted selection) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: . Expected Results: .
I can not reproduce your problem with the transparent text background. Neither with KDE 4.6 nor with 4.7 The copy/paste in transparent mode copies all but the part which has the current background color. Which version are you using ?
I regularily compile it from trunk.
I can confirm a similar problem. OpenSuse 11.4 KDE 4.7 final nVidia GeForce GT 320M (nVidia driver) Transparent selection does not work in KolourPaint 4.7 Dragging the selected area, also the (solid) background is dragged. No problem with KolourPaint 4.6.x. I think it's a problem with the new alpha channel support. Perhaps, this new feature works differently depending on the model of the video card/video driver.
I have a similar problem with transparency in KDE. I tried some versions of kolourpaint and it seems that problem presents from 4.7.0 to last git version. There is no problem in 4.6.x I made a little screencast for this bug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCin5iTAXgE
Same problem here. Running Arch Linux, KDE/Kolourpaint 4.7.0. Moved/pasted content that's supposed to be opaque is turning up transparent and vice versa. This makes it completely unusable for certain purposes.
Actually 4.7.1-1. On another computer, 4.6.5-2 is working fine.
See also bug 283866, which requests this "feature" (reverse selection) be kept as a separate tool/option. Stencils to the rescue :)
Is it so difficult to fix this bug? KColourPaint is a very useful application; it is a pity that this bugs makes it unusable.
Same bug here (xubuntu 11.10) - hope this gest fixed soon, this bug is severely impacting my productivity!
ok, I see the problem. I hope it's not so difficult to fix, but it's difficult to find the time to do it ;-)

Great news, when will it be included in the version that can be automatically downloaded through Ubuntu Update Manager?
@Simplex: sudo apt-get build-dep kolourpaint git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kolourpaint cd kolourpaint mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr make sudo make install Et voila! :)

No idea about Ubuntu. I fixed it in master (KDE 4.8 release) and in the 4.7 branch, which means it'll be in the next KDE 4.7.4 release, too.
