Description Krenar Qehaja 2010-06-17 17:02:51 UTC 
Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

It works fine if you select the text and copy it from the context menu (Context menu -> Copy) but it does not "properly" copy the text to clipboard through the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C).

The problem is that through the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C) text gets copied to the clipboard, but it is not re-usable anymore; it does not appear on a clipboard manager, e.g. Klipper.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fire up Konsole
2. Select some text
3. Copy it through the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C)
4. Check Klipper for clipboard history

Actual Results:  
Data does not appear on Klipper's history

Expected Results:  
Data should appear on Klipper's history; as it does when you copy the text from the context menu

Are you using settings > ignore selection ?

Yes I am using it, but it still should copy the text when you use the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C). It is just a shortcut to the "Copy" action.

Cheers.

The shortcut and the "Copy" action are inconsistent. "Only text selection" might be a better choice.

Why is that? Shouldn't both of them trigger the same action?

Thanks for the workaround, but still I make too many accidental text selects; clipboard history is really important to me. I have to right-click all the time.

This appears to work for me on my 4.6.x system.

Re-open if you can reproduce using a 4.6 system.
