Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD] OS: FreeBSD I stumbled over this problem when writing a comment at Slashdot. It appears not possible to copy a text above the input field and paste it into the input field. In this mask (the bug description mask at bugs.kde.org) it's the same: I marked a text, typed Ctrl-C, but I always get the text that was in the paste buffer before when I try to paste it. The Copy menu item doesn't help at all, neither in the window's menu, nor in the context menu (where it seems to appear on a random base).
I'm trying to reproduce your issue. Is this what you are referring to: I'm trying to copy the "Additional Comments:" text that appears right above the textarea in which I'm typing this text now. After selecting it with the mouse: - if I click the middle button, it's pasted into the text field - if I hit Ctrl+V, the old clipboard is pasted. Go blame klipper because you did not set up synchronisation. It's the expected behaviour. - HOWEVER, if I go to the Edit menu and select Copy, and then try to paste with Ctrl+V or with the RMB menu, the old clipboard is pasted. It seems the widget has a memory of its own about the clipboard, that it sets when the page loads. I'm not sure where this bug belongs to. It would seem to be a kdelibs or even Qt issue, but it could be Konqueror doing something tricky with the widget. I'm leaving it as it is.
I'm seeing the same problems, even worse, to copy and paste between lyx-qt and KDE applications. It happens also with OpenOffice.org, which inconsistently works sometimes (but always fails for long texts).
I see the same problem in Konqueror 3.1.0 -- neither the normal Copy command (press Control-C or use Edit --> Copy) nor the context menu Copy command will copy text from the web page outside a form field, UNLESS I never put my text cursor in a form field on that page (in that case I can copy and paste stuff from the rest of the web page).

I see something similar using Konqueror 2.2.2 and KDE 2.2.2 in Lycoris Desktop/lx, Amythist Update 3, build 141. When I try and copy then past a URL from a webpage into the location bar it only reenters the previous URL that was in the location bar. I made sure that the previous address was removed first but it always happens this way no matter what method of copy/paste I use. If I look at klipper after coping, the URL is there, but it cannot be pasted into konqueror's location bar.
SOMEBODY MARK AS DUPLICATE: This bug is also described in 58833, where it has more votes and a test case.
