Description Nikos Chantziaras 2013-06-23 07:23:25 UTC

Upgrading from KDE 4.10.4 to 4.11 beta 1 (4.10.80) breaks text selection in Midnight Commander. Previously (in KDE 4.10.4 and older,) I could hold down Shift and select text with the mouse. This is no longer possible; holding select and dragging the mouse will not select text.

As a work around, Shift+double-click still works and it correctly selects the current word. Holding down the mouse button after the double-click will then allow me to extend the selection range past the initial word.

This happens with both the Slang as well as NCurses versions of Midnight Commander.

Reproducible: Always




KDE 4.10.80, Qt 4.8.4, Midnight Commander 4.8.8.

Fix 'extend Selection' bug for apps not interested in mouse

New feature in 4.11 allows Shift+Click to extend the selection.
However, for programs not interested in mouse (vim, mc, etc) this
causes issues.  Fix is to ignore extending selection for those apps.
FIXED-IN: 4.11
