Version: 0.0.1 (using Devel) OS: Linux Since 4.8 I have the following problem: The text selection does not correctly start below my mouse cursor. E.g. when starting to select the text "-graphicssystem native" and the mouse is over/at the left end of the - character, the selection starts with the character " left of it, and when I move the mouse to the right, the selection itself lags behind the mouse position. E.g. when I'm already with the mouse over the ending " the selection only is done until "-graphicssystem nativ This was detected while checking bug 290371 There you can read the response from Christoph Feck: This is because Qt 4.8 now defaults to subpixel precision when layouting text positions. Konqueror has to make sure it computes the same widths for layouting/selecting as Qt uses for rendering, or alternatively force integer font metrics (which would make it look worse, but work correctly). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual Results: wrong selection Expected Results: Select exactly the text which is under the mouse, as was done in all previous KDE versions.
Dear user, KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6. Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component. We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes. For security issues, please see: https://kde.org/info/security/ Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML. Greetings Christoph Cullmann
