Presently, when the selection can be interpreted as either text or graphics, Okular prompts the user with options to select text or graphics for the X Windows selection or clipboard. This feature is to not prompt the user for what type to use for the clipboard data, but instead to use the built in mechanism for content negotiation with the application receiving the selection. Here is some information about content negotiation. http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html Reproducible: Always
I guess it makes sense. Thought it'd increase a bit the code complexity and honestly i think that at the point of doing the square selection you know what you want to do. But i'm not oposed to patches :-)
