(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kdevelop
Version:           KDE 3.0.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I mainly use the programs Kdevelop but I want copy and paste text from other apps. I'm used to select a piece of text to copy it and to press the middle mouse button to paste it. Unfortunately since KDE 3.0 it's absolutely impossible to predict what will be pasted next. I tried to configure it but I didn't get it right. With Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V I also get mostly random results. I really like Kde but this bug makes it almost impossible to work with it.

Hi

I know the Clipboard sometimes drives me crazy too... It gets better with=
=20
KDE 3.1.

Please note that KDE has a Clipboard (CTRL-C CTRL-V) and the X-Server has =
one=20
(mark and middle mouse button). Some apps don't stick to that so the wrong=
=20
thing might be pasted.

Best regards
Harry

Yes.. this has to be fixed.. 
 
If I mark something with my mouse in a kde app and then paste it into say Phoenix. 
I wont get the result I wanted.. KDE HAS TO move what is marked with the mouse to 
the correct buffer and keep it's own buffer for Ctrl+C Ctrl+V 
 
KDE also seem to block copying from certain text fields. like the Doc's in Kdevelop (gideon) 
so I can't cut 'n paste example code...
