Version: 3.2.2 (using KDE 3.2.2, SuSE) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.4 Selecting text with mouse in a web page's (multi-line) text field freezes Konqueror for 0.5-3 seconds completely. After that one can do further actions. It happens for example with this input field that is used for writing this text. It doesn't happen when selecting text with keyboard.
It happens only in multi-line text input fields.
That's klipper bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74487 ***
Not really a duplicate of #74487.
Can happen even with single line edits. Caused by qt_xclb_wait_for_event() (QClipboard) being blocking, after selecting something in Konqueror Klipper sends a request for PRIMARY contents and at the same time Konqueror updates its Edit menu and calls QClipboard::provides(), which leads to requesting CLIPBOARD targets from Klipper. qt_xclb_wait_for_event() in both processes time out waiting for the other to reply. This is not a duplicate of bug #74487 because the Qt versions mentioned there didn't have qt_xclb_wait_for_event() blocking. That change however has been reverted because of bug #61412. Nasty bug :(.
Some kind of a hack created, before a good solution is found out. Requires patched Qt, so hope your packager will pick it up (already explicitly forwarded to the SUSE packager, so I guess you're lucky ;) ).
The qt-copy patch number is 0048.

Ok, let's consider this fixed, with qt-copy patch #0048. This problem shouldn't exist with Qt4, and I doubt there will be any Qt3 release before that, at least one that could change something about this. Packagers have been already told about the patch, so bug them if you have this problem. Sorry.

Hello, I notice that if we configure klipper to "synchronize the content of the buffer and the selection" (it may not be the exact wording, I'm using localized version, so I'm guessing the english version) the symptoms apparently no longer shows up (or rarely).

The bug is still very much present: KDE/Konqueror 3.5.2. It was installed from FreeBSD ports, using qt-x11-free-3.3.6 which does include a 0048-qclipboard_hack_80072.patch. Klipper is 0.9.7 (compiled together with the rest of KDE 3.5.2). The problem seems to go away with one or more of these actions in Klipper: clearing its history, or turning off "save clipboard contents on exit", or turning it off. Unfortunately it took me two afternoons of browsing through kde bug reports to find these hints, after enduring the problem for the last two years (and switching to firefox for more substantial web forms filling/editing). Mark Mark
Happens to me too, dont know why it is marked as FIXED. Still happens with QT 3.3.6 with the clipboard hack and with kdebase 3.5.3.
Does Qt 3.3.8 changelog: "- Fixed problem with applications hanging while querying the clipboard. This is related to the KDE bug reported at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80072." means that is fixed now?
this bug is still cousing problems with konqueror from kde 4.1 Fast-reply in phpbb2 forum takes forever - no copy/pasting
... and also when using keyboard the latency is about 4 seconds for every key pressed. Reopen?
