Description lypanov 2005-03-03 17:05:55 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

(selecting most of a random line on a random click that you meant to remove the selection is too easy).

instead it should use the manhatten distance and only select when the mouse has moved enough. if i had a working build i'd send u the patch. sorry :/

I agree. But isn't this a wish?

Could you please explain this more fully.  I have no idea what you are trying to say...

Comment 4 lypanov 2005-03-13 00:34:22 UTC

open konsole.
ls -laR /
click a point
-> point till end of line is selected
its difficult to remove selection therefore

I do not think this problem exists in KDE4 konsole, at least in recent version.

Comment 6 Christoph Feck 2011-08-28 19:15:39 UTC

It does. You have to slightly move the mouse while clicking, this is actually easier to reproduce with a stylus.
