Description dalekxt 2016-03-31 12:49:32 UTC
I originally attempted to block select text in an IRC client known as Weechat which has mouse support enabled. It does not work when enabled, but it does work when I disable mouse support. Actually, I tested it in htop. I am not the only one with this problem. I had a few people in #kde or #kde-devel attempt it on Freenode, and same issue. 

I don't think it is another modifier causing an issue, I believe it is a bug. I tried multiple commands like this: select ctrl (works when mouse support is disabled) select ctrl alt, select alt ctrl, and other commands. It does not work. I looked for a way to change the shortcut but I didn't see any.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run htop (with mouse enabled) or weechat
2. Select ctrl even alt

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens, it just ignores it.

Expected Results:  
I should have been able to select a portion of text in Weechat instead of the nicklist, buffer, among other things.
