Version: 2.2.1 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 108", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.19-3.2-default Type "pwd" into konsole. Then attempt to double-click the produced output in order to select it. Either only one path component is selected or the entire line (including all whitespace to the right edge of konsole) is selected. Previously konsole allowed to select the entire path exclusive of whitespace to the right.
I can confirm this bug on KDE 4.2.1, Ubuntu packages, worked fine in 4.2.0.
and it seems the commits from #176273 are responsible for this one

hmm, seems one can fix/workaround this by doing * edit current profile * advanced * mouse interaction: remove the "/" so maybe this is not a bug after all ? i do find the description of the item in the profile confusing (on my system it is called "word characters", and i think it should be "word separator characters")
Removing '/' fixes the issue for paths, but the behavior is still not fully consistent with KDE 3.5 or 4.2.0, for that you'll need to reverse the string, remove everything and add everything else (which is a lot harder).
From my point of view, the default value should be a single space character. This is suitable for most of my cut and paste situations. In my opinion this configuration option should be described in detail in the konsole manual. Maybe regular expression provides better possibilities.
I agree that multiple regular expressions is the right choice. Examples: export X=http://a.b.c/ppp?llll&x=sss If I select the URL the [:=&?] are not separators. If I select the X = is a separator. PATH=/bin:/usr/bin: The [:] is a separator. stat->st_mode The - is a separator. my-file-name.txt The - is not a separator. --- Does anyone know what was exactly the previous setting?
Konsole3 had a "Consider the following characters part of a word when double clicking" textbox with a default value of ":@-./_~" .
(In reply to comment #7) > From my point of view, the default value should be a single space character. > This is suitable for most of my cut and paste situations. Not only. Possible ' and " should be used as word boundaies. It seems this field label mislead and tooltip has opposite meaning to real behaviour. I suggest to rename this field to 'Symbols for word boundaries on double click:" or 'Non-word characters for double-click selection:' What do you think?
