Description bginsburg 2019-07-31 18:18:16 UTC

SUMMARY
Previously, my workflow involved opening code in Kate and then dragging text I was working on into my R console in Konsole.  This no longer works.  Now I have to use keyboard commands to copy, then switch window to Konsole and CTRL-V paste.

Drag and drop copy/paste works as expected from Kate into Libreoffice Writer
Drag and drop copy paste also does not work into another terminal emulator (YAKUAKE), so I am not sure whether this is specific to Konsole, or may be a DM issue

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open text file in Kate
2. Open Konsole
3. Select text in Kate
4. Drag to Konsole and release mouse button

OBSERVED RESULT
Selected/dragged text is not pasted into the Konsole terminal

EXPECTED RESULT
Selected/dragged text should be pasted into the Konsole terminal

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux 5.2.1 /Plasma 5.16.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version:

Comment 1 pgnd 2019-07-31 18:51:49 UTC

I was just in the process of writing the same behavior up ...

I can also confirm, with

	konsole -v
		konsole 19.04.3
		(or 19.07.xx)

	kate -v
		kate 19.07.80

	lsb_release -rd
		Description:    openSUSE Leap 15.1
		Release:        15.1

and

	plasma5-workspace-devel-5.16.3-lp151.464.1.x86_64
	plasma-framework-devel-5.60.0-lp151.254.1.x86_64
	etc

installed, drag-n-drop of selcted text

	TO konsole OR kate

	FROM konsole OR kate

fails -- no text pasted into destination.

All of which, as mentioned in OP, used to work.

From other applications, it works?

Yep.

e.g.,

FROM firefox OR thunderbird

TO kate OR konsole

works perfectly.

Comment 4 pgnd 2019-07-31 20:17:51 UTC

&, for completeness,

 FROM kate
 TO firefox OR thunderbird

works always.

OTOH,

 FROM konsole
 TO firefox OR thunderbird

works intermittently.  Not clear what the OK/FAIL conditions are yet ...

Comment 5 pgnd 2019-08-18 14:47:55 UTC

fyi, upgraded to _release_,

 konsole --version
  konsole 19.08.0

and can confirm the issue remains, as reported

Comment 6 Kurt Hindenburg 2019-08-18 21:55:28 UTC

Odd that it works here for master and Konsole 19.08.  Do you have any setting changed from the default?

Anything suspicious in there?

Comment 8 pgnd 2019-08-18 22:27:50 UTC

it DOES work if I drag from a Kate editor window into its own Terminal konsole-part.

but it does NOT work if I drag same from Kate to a standalone, open Konsole window ...

Comment 9 pgnd 2019-10-21 16:47:33 UTC

still an issue, as reported, with

konsole -v
  konsole 19.08.2

kate -v
  kate 19.08.2

Comment 10 pgnd 2019-11-01 21:21:45 UTC

It there any dev interest in fixing this?  At all, or prior to KDE F6?

If so, what add'l info do you need?

If not, pls just let us know.

Comment 11 Kurt Hindenburg 2019-11-07 14:46:21 UTC

Sorry for the delay - let me research again

Comment 12 Christoph Feck 2019-11-07 15:42:31 UTC

Developers will set the NEEDSINFO status when they need more information.

Comment 13 Kurt Hindenburg 2019-11-14 18:56:47 UTC

Does not work in xterm; does work in terminator and firefox.  I went all the way back to Konsole 17.04 and the DND still doesn't work from Kate. DND from other apps work into Konsole.


"it DOES work if I drag from a Kate editor window into its own Terminal konsole-part."
confirmed

Comment 14 pgnd 2019-12-23 06:24:10 UTC

issue continues, as reported, with

	konsole -v
		konsole 19.12.0

	kate -v
		kate 19.12.0

	lsb_release -rd
		Description:    openSUSE Leap 15.1
		Release:        15.1

	plasma5-workspace-5.17.4-lp151.492.1.x86_64
	plasma-framework-devel-5.65.0-lp151.269.1.x86_64
	etc

Comment 15 bginsburg 2020-09-18 17:22:29 UTC

This appears to be resolved under Konsole v. 20.08.1 and Kate v. 20.08.1
