More info: One symptom is that while shift is pressed the mouse pointer blinks very fast. As if shift is activating the "hide-cursor when typing" feature. I also tried to install my previous konsole version (konsole_4.2.2-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb) and after logout, ldconfig, login, I still can't use the shift or ctrl-alt-shift to select with the mouse. Maybe this problem as introduced in another package (kdelibs?). Regards, Nuno Hello - I had another report of this recently but I have not been able to reproduce the bug using the same settings using a trunk build of Konsole and the version that ships with Ubuntu Jaunty (which I believe is 4.2.2 - the same version I think that the other reporter was using). Where did you install 4.2.4 from? I do not know if this only affects certain Ubuntu users or others - relevant Ubuntu report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-kde4/+bug/382162 KDE was updated two days ago from vanilla KDE in Kubuntu Jaunty by adding this repo: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main It's advertised here: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2.4 I'd like to stress that in Jaunty's vanilla KDE it works fine. I couldn't reproduce by replacing my local version of Konsole (binary + libraries) with the one from that package. Could you try backing up and removing: ~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole (Might be ~/.kde4 - I'm not sure which Kubuntu defaults to) It's ~/.kde/ As I said earlier I installed the vanilla (original) Kubuntu konsole and it doesn't work. Anyway, I have more details. Yesterday I created a new user just to test this. Yesterday I wouldn't work with new konsole or old. TODAY it _works_ in this new user with newer konsole!!! Nothing was installed, removed or configured. The only difference is that yesterday I closed my kdm and logged in with the new user. Today I left my normal user logged in and used fast-user-switching to start a new KDE in tty8. Anyway, it's working for this new user now! I can't figure it out. Right now I can't logout. I'll do more tests ASAIK and report back. Thanks! Hello. I'm back. Just to say that after rebooting the box I can now select text as usual. Please note: - Log out and then log in again did not solve this issue; - Creating a totally new user and logging in had the same problems but after a few hours it started working without any modifications (?) - After rebooting it started working, again without any modification. Wierd but true... I think this can be closed. Maybe it's some glitch in this box. If it happens again I'll bug you again ;-) Regards, Nuno I'm also having this problem on archlinux x86_64, kdemod 4.3.1. So I think this is not resolved, and not limited to Ubuntu packages. I'm using Vim, and as a quick and dirty workaround I have defined a key to toggle mouse support in Vim, exactly as explained in http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Managing_set_options Hey I've got more input on this problem... I happened to try "konsole -graphicssystem raster" because vim was a bit slow in konsole... (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172250) -- it was not very slow, but just a bit annoying when scrolling line by line continuously It did solve the slowness, but also the mouse selection problem ! I've experienced those 2 problems (mouse selection and slowness) with bitmap fonts, with 2 difference ati graphics cards (ATI radeon X300 and ATI HD 4670), resp. with drivers xf86-video-ati and fglrx. Hum forget what I said, I tried again without "konsole -graphicssystem raster" and noticed that the mouse selection problem was solved already... Possibly due to the fact that I changed the graphics card and drivers! So, these 2 problems seem unrelated... Sorry :) (In reply to comment #9) > Hey I've got more input on this problem... > I happened to try "konsole -graphicssystem raster" because vim was a bit slow > in konsole...
