Description Joe Biden 2008-10-02 08:10:57 UTC 
Version:           4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2) (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-4-generic

Konqueror is seriously slow and klunky in 4.x, and not being able to copy, cut and paste randomly is making me tear my hair out!

I can confirm, I have the same problem...
Comment 2 Tomas Mecir 2008-10-03 19:53:43 UTC 
I have observed the same problem immediately after upgrading from 4.1.0 to 4.1.2. All tabs in the konqueror window, including newly opened ones, had the Cut and Copy actions grayed out regardless on what I was doing. Newly opened instances of konqueror/dolphin seem to be behaving correctly though.

The problem seems to only affect the instance that got session-restored from 4.1.0 - when I closed that window and opened a new konqueror instance, Cut/Copy works well, including after a logout+login - for now at least.

Tomas, excellent observation.
Comment 4 Tomas Mecir 2008-10-03 20:28:10 UTC 
Sadly, it turns out that it wasn't quite so simple.

The problem apparently appears as soon as you try to open any web page in any tab. As soon as you do that, the Cut and Copy actions become permanently grayed out, and the only way to bring them back is to close the window and open a new one.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a new (or use existing) konqueror instance in file browser mode.
2. Check that Cut/Copy works properly there (action is enabled when you select some files, etc).
3. Open any web page (using KHTML, no idea if other rendering engine would trigger the bug too). It can be in a new tab, or in the only tab of a window, makes no difference.
4. And now, you can try selecting anything you want within that window, be it a HTML chunk or a file/directory, the Cut/Copy actions will stay grayed out.

Wanted to change the bug title too to better describe the problem, but apparently I cannot do that.

I fixed this with 868121. Apparently the SVN keywords still don't work.
