Description Teemu Rytilahti 2003-10-18 11:21:23 UTC

Version:           v0.9.5 (using KDE 3.1.92 (CVS >= 20031007), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-test5

When an application crashes and I'm going to make a report to bko, I've clicked copy of drkonqi's window to copy the backtrace to the clipboard.. Now, when I click the paste in the textarea of bko, it pastes the older copy, not the backtrace..

It seems this happens only with a big texts, but I'm not sure.. All I have to do is click Klipper with RMB and then press alt+tab to get over it (it freezes or something..).

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks :)

When you say paste, are you using Ctrl+V or MMB? The former works for me all the time, whereas the latter doesn't. It's the intentional behaviour, unless you turned on Selection/Clipboard Synchronisation in Klipper.

Comment 2 Teemu Rytilahti 2003-10-20 04:16:13 UTC

Well, I use MMB usually, but it doesn't work with ctrl+v too.. And I'm using clipboard/selection synchronisation and Klipper works otherwise well..

Comment 3 Teemu Rytilahti 2003-11-10 22:52:59 UTC

Oh, this could be a problem in the syncing of the "clipboards". When copying the backtrace from drkonqi's dialog via Copy button, I can paste it with Ctrl+V but not with MMB without selecting the entry from the klipper's RMB menu..

I have this problem too.  It's constant.   I just tried to cut/paste the comment above this one, same problem.  [Konq, 3.1.93 from tarball]

I select text and then copy it - Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Ins, right-click/copy, doesn't matter how I do it.  If I then paste, by any method, I get nothing if the clipboard was previously empty.  If the clipboard already had other text in it, I'll get a copy of the next-most-recent text, not the text I just copied.  It's always off-by-one unless I manually select the text to paste in Klipper first.

Additionally, when pasting into edit fields (like this one I'm writing in now), I have to explicitly select the text to paste in Klipper, or it will not paste anything no matter what.  Even though Klipper shows that the text I want to paste is already selected, I have to select it again for it to work.

This is with 3.1.93 (3.2 beta 1) from tarballs, and the most recent qt-copy from CVS.  I removed all MDK packages, even Qt, before building so that's not a variable.  If it matters, I use the focus-follows-mouse and click-to-raise policies.

Comment 5 Tommi Tervo 2004-09-30 09:11:10 UTC

Still valid.

Comment 6 Esben Mose Hansen 2005-02-04 21:44:28 UTC

The synching was broken. It has been fixed for some time (3 months, maybe).

Comment 7 Michal Borek 2008-08-08 12:15:29 UTC

I have still this problem.
