Description Martin van Es 2016-03-10 14:14:01 UTC

I have no idea who's to blame. But the effects are devastating.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a line of text in Konsole
2. Switch to LibreOffice (5.1.1.2)
3. Press ctrl-shift-v for paste-special

Actual Results:  
Desktop Session vaporizes and SDDM appears to login.

Expected Results:  
A dialog asking in what format I want to paste the Konsole clipboard contents.

I don't blame Konsole, I just don't have any clue where to start reporting. I only know that paste-special from Kate or any other application works as expected. My work-around now is pasting in Kate, re-selecting the text and then past-special in LibreOffice.

The reason I need paste-special is that pasting from Konsole adds the Konsole font markup that I don't want in my document.

Seems fixed in Ubuntu Xenial 16.04
