Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Summary: Sometimes, certain text selection events cause Konqueror's vertical scroll position to change. These include selecting text in Konqueror, causing text to be deselected in Konqueror and selecting text in other applications. To reproduce. Tricky, as it's hard to understand what is going on. This way seems to work reliably, although it only demonstrates one form of the bug. 1. Load konqueror 2. visit http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/553/2148 3. Scroll down so that "On Sun, 2003-01-12 at 14:15, Linus Torvalds wrote:" is at the top of the screen 4. put the mouse over spin_trylock in the line below and slowly select text downwards. 5. As the cursor approaches "I would change it to something like the following" the window suddenly scrolls This is a fairly recent regression in CVS.
Created attachment 3275 [details] shows that text selection behaves a bit strangely I wonder if this bug is a duplicate of http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64348. Anyway, I can confirm the problem. I created a test case based on this html code which uses the <pre> tag: <html> <body> <pre> 1 1234567890 2 1234567890 3 1234567890 Click on the second line and carry on selecting to the third. Keep down again, and see how the first line is selected. </pre> </body> </html>
Another real-world type example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/34062.html Load the page and triple-click on "With London". It seems to be caused by Konqueror trying to ensure that the end of the selected region is in the viewable area of the window. Bug 64348 doesn't seem to be connected AFAICS.
please reopen if you still see it, but I think Leo fixed that on friday
This bug is definitely not fixed. Reopening.
still there, as in 3.2.2 im not sure if its khtml though. well, to me, the window does not scroll, only the selection change weirdly.
Mathieu: If it's not khtml which component could be ? I feel that it's khtml, it didn't happen in anyother palce to me, and more over it's not a konqueror's fault because in kdevelop khtml component the bug still appears. As a good and obvious testcase, let's use, for example. This bug report. Go to the top of the page and try to select two or more paragraphs of the bug body. As the text is within a block with another table at the right side, the selection flickers over empty lines. And both the kerneltrap and theregister webpages show the problem because of div elements. At least, it's clear that there's something wrong with them in theregister, as the problem _only_ appear in the lines with the The Register Newsletter image inside. I hope it helps to figure out the problem and solve it, Edulix.
It *is* khtml. It's just not easy to fix.

This is a duplicate of Bug 66583
Still there from the test case
Can not reproduce using testcase a comment #1. Works for me in kde 4.11.4
