Description Engin AYDOGAN 2003-10-25 18:09:07 UTC
Version:           KDE: 3.1.92 (CVS >= 20031019)  -- ( cvs updated on 20031025) (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) $CFLAGS=-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
OS:          Linux

To see this bug your self enter google's advanced search page then:
Start dragging your mouse from inside of a upper text field to the bottom with a path that intersects  other  text fields. And you'll see that other text fields' texts are selected too. 

I hope I could make my self clear.

Unduped.

Can reproduce with kde 3.2.3 and 3.3.0rc2.
Comment 3 Tim Hutt 2005-05-26 00:40:16 UTC
Still in KDE 3.4
Comment 4 Marijn Schouten 2006-04-17 19:30:06 UTC
Can reproduce this with 3.5.2 on this very page:

Select in the first message from "To see..." to "...make my self clear. ". So far so good. Now while still holding down left mouse button move the mouse to the right. Result: selection of "Version:           KDE: 3.1.92 ..." to "OS:          Linux" and also the last three rows of the top right box: reporter through votes.

Can't reproduce on svn trunk r793457 (the original bug, not comment #4, which seems to be something completely different that is not a bug).
Comment 7 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-04-06 10:39:03 UTC
Hmm, now I wonder if my report:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124050
is really a duplicate.

The bug I mentioned that several parts are awkwardly selected -- for example you select from left to right, but Konqueror shows selection as if it would be from bottom to top, of course this results in selection you didn't want.

This is what Marijn described also in #4 -- are those problems distinct issues, nor not (if yes, distinct -- I will reopen my report).
Comment 8 George Goldberg 2008-04-16 08:55:03 UTC
@Maciej : They are distinct. This bug was about text *in textfields* getting selected in more than one at once, which should never be possible. What you are describing is about general text being selected in a visibly illogical order.
Comment 9 George Goldberg 2008-04-16 08:55:31 UTC
This bug is still present in 3.5.9.
Comment 10 Michael Leupold 2008-04-21 10:21:30 UTC
As this bug is fixed in recent releases it's being closed. Setting it to LATER because it does qualify for backporting to the 3.x branch.
