Description Craig McDaniel 2001-11-19 03:13:14 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konqueror
Version:           2.2.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Debian Package 4:2.2.1-14 (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011006 (Debian prerelease)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.10
OS/Compiler notes: 

After starting KDE Konqueror HTML form entry is extermely slow. Other KDE apps have no problems. No problem typing in location area of Konqueror either. The problem seems to go away after using KDE for 30 minutes or so.

Comment 1 Craig McDaniel 2001-11-19 04:07:23 UTC 
The problem is not Konqeror; it is Klipper. Klipper doesn't show up in top as 
a process that is running amok but it does seems to be stealing time from 
Konqueror when I'm trying to enter keystrokes in HTML forms. I can make 
Konqueror act normal again when I kill Klipper.

Thanks

Hello

I am sure that this is related to the bug you mentioned here:
When I go to any webpage and then mark the text in the URL:- line
a right-click on this text (I tried to copy it to the clipboard)
slows the whole KDE down for a while. After 10-30 seconds the frame
for the context-menu is drawn but is still emty. After a while other
KDE programs such as kmail get back to normal activity while the
whole konqueror window is still waiting for a redraw although
top says that the system is 99 % idle..... 

Any Ideas about this behaviour?

Comment 3 Olaf Stetzer 2001-11-21 16:12:33 UTC 
Hello again

in my last post I forgot to do the experiment with killing
klipper. Now I did and got back to normal operation. So this
bug should be redirected to klipper?
