Can confirm. very annoying. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/1156 Git commit 48ba7ea4c137b2fa1e7031ba0c8641a7a906c771 by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Waqar Ahmed. Committed on 20/12/2025 at 17:33. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Fix context menu event handling Konsole was using mousePressEvent with button == Qt::RightButton for emulating a context menu event, which is wrong because there is a dedicated event for context menu. Due to this there were weird issues on wayland for e.g., you open the context menu and then click somewhere else -> you get another context menu if the target widget supports one. This happened because after mousePressEvent, there is a mouseReleaseEvent, which konsole doesn't handle always which then gets synthesized into a context menu event and delivered to the widget where the click happened. This is also a bug in Qt wayland I think and should be fixed there but there is no reason for Konsole not to handle this properly. To fix, move the logic for context menu event to contextMenuEvent.

Created attachment 186808 [details] Demonstration context menu / copy issue SUMMARY right click in terminal -> copy text : context menu pops again and scroll edit window to the end This only happens when the context menu doesn't fit in the remaining space below the selected text. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In Kate terminal, copy a portion of text in a way the context menu cannot fit below that text. Two things happen then: 1.1. You'll see that the main edit window is scrolling by itself to end of the file 1.2. The context menu unexpectedly reappears a second time. If you click "copy" in that second context menu, the clipboard will contain the last line of the edit window. OBSERVED RESULT Please see the screencast which is very explanatory EXPECTED RESULT the context menu is displayed once in a way if fits on the screen.
